Create ADB2C tenant REST

Question

Dear,

I'm trying to deploy a B2C tenant by using REST APIs.

When using the following REST endpoint url https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/activedirectory/b2c-tenants/create?tabs=HTTP

With the following json body payload by example :

 $b2cTenantObject = [PSCustomObject] @{
        "location"    = $location
        "sku" = @{
            "Name"  = "Standard"
            "Tier"    = "PremiumP1"
        }
        "properties" =@{
            "createTenantProperties"=@{
                "displayName"=$b2CTenantName
                "countryCode"="FR"
                        }
        }
    }

The result is the following :

The B2C tenant is never provisionned (did many tries), is there another action to complete after calling the speciefied REST endpoint to make the B2C tenant resource available ?(nothing in RG)

Many thanks for your help

Hello @Cloudy , there is no additional steps required to create a B2C tenant trough Azure REST. What you should do is to query operation async progress trough a URL provided in the create response location header. While the operation is in progress you will get a 202 status code and once the it has completed a 200 status code. The response content will provide information about the created tenant or the error details.

In your current $b2cTenantObject you should change sku.tier to "A0". Also ensure resource name includes the .onmicrosoft.com sufix. Eg.

# PUT https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.AzureActiveDirectory/b2cDirectories/contoso.onmicrosoft.com?api-version=2023-01-18-preview

$b2cTenantObject = [PSCustomObject] @{
        "location"    = $location
        "sku" = @{
            "Name"  = "Standard"
            "Tier"    = "A0"
        }
        "properties" =@{
            "createTenantProperties"=@{
                "displayName"=$b2CTenantName
                "countryCode"="FR"
                        }
        }
    }
