Hi @jeeva t

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.

We have a guide here on how to reset the users password via the Entra admin portal -

Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Password Administrator.

Browse to Identity > Users > All users.

Select the user that needs the reset, then select Reset Password.

@jeeva t you will need to ensure you have a token first, there are different methods to acquire the token based on your scenario, they are listed here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/sdks/choose-authentication-providers?tabs=csharp

Did you assign the App Registration an Azure AD role which allows password change? I.e Global Admin

I need to reset the password for all the registered users in azureAd.

var requestBody = new Microsoft.Graph.Users.Item.Authentication.Methods.Item.ResetPassword.ResetPasswordPostRequestBody

{

    NewPassword = model.NewPassword

};


var authenticationMethod = await graphClient.Users[users?.NameIdentifier].Authentication.Methods.GetAsync();

 var updateUserRequest =await graphClient.Users[users?.NameIdentifier].Authentication.Methods[authenticationMethod.Value[0].Id].ResetPassword.PostAsync(requestBody);





I got this error "The user is not authorized to access this resource"  While resetting the password using the above code. I'd like to know how to resolve it.

@jeeva t Looking at the permissions required to perform that task https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/authenticationmethod-resetpassword?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http#permissions

Application permissions are not supported, so you will need to obtain a token in the context of your user, i.e delegated permissions and ensure the scope "UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite.All" has been added.

Use one of the delegated options from the following guide - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/sdks/choose-authentication-providers?tabs=csharp

@jeeva t Are you referring now to creating custom password requirements within the custom user flow in B2C? If so, we have a guide on that here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/password-complexity?pivots=b2c-custom-policy

Hi @jeeva t We have details here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-update?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=csharp#permissions

In delegated scenarios, the app must be assigned the Directory.AccessAsUser.All delegated permission and the calling user must have a higher privileged administrator role as indicated in Who can perform sensitive actions.

Your personal Microsoft account must be tied to an Azure AD tenant to update your profile with the User.ReadWrite delegated permission on a personal Microsoft account.

And the code to reset the password is here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-update?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=csharp#example-3-update-the-passwordprofile-of-a-user-to-reset-their-password

To login as yourself and get the access token - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/sdks/choose-authentication-providers?tabs=csharp#interactive-provider
