Question

The Exchange Reader Role as a built-in role in Entra

Mike 0

It would be nice if we can have new role Exchange Read Only or Reader role for creating custom reports. Right now I am using Global Reader for the app registration and service principle. That role works fine for the custom report. The custom role does not have all the Reader App Permissions that are required for Exchange App Role. Is there another way of creating the custom role that I am not doing?

Generally speaking, Entra does not support workload-specific roles, with few exceptions. You can achieve your ask by assigning the user/service principal to the "View-Only Organization Management" Role Group within Exchange Online, or even use a custom-created role therein.

If you meant the above as an improvement suggestion, the best place to put it would be over at the Feedback portal: https://feedback.azure.com/d365community/forum/22920db1-ad25-ec11-b6e6-000d3a4f0789
