Unable to Update Redirect URI – “Client is not authorized to update apps using consumer identity” Error

Question

Unable to Update Redirect URI – “Client is not authorized to update apps using consumer identity” Error

Docparser Contact 20

I’m encountering an issue while trying to update the redirect URI for an existing App Registration in the Azure portal.

When I attempt to update the URI, I receive the following error message:

Failed to update [MY-APP-NAME] application.

Error detail: Client CLIENT-ID is not authorized to update apps using consumer identity [CONSUMER-ID]

I’m logged into the Azure Portal using my Microsoft account via email OTP authentication. It appears that I may not have the necessary permissions or that the authentication method may be limiting my ability to make these changes.

Could you please assist in:

Clarifying the root cause of this permission issue

Advising what role or login method is required to successfully update the redirect URI

Helping me resolve this so I can proceed with the required configuration change

Please let me know if any additional information is needed from my end.

Hi there! Thanks for posting this question.

You have added the Azure App Service tag, but I think your question would be better served with the Entra ID tag.

With a Web App, of course we leverage App Registrations when using Entra as an Identity Provider. But your question focuses more around RBAC/provider roles & permissions when making changes to an App Registration, which is an object present in an Entra tenant.

Hello Docparser,

To address the issue you're encountering, I recommend attempting to access the Azure portal using a tenant-specific endpoint. This approach can sometimes resolve access issues, especially when dealing with personal Microsoft accounts.

Please try the following link:
https://portal.azure.com/yourtenantid

Replace yourtenantid with your organization's actual tenant ID.

Why this might help:
In certain scenarios, using a tenant-specific URL allows personal Microsoft accounts to access organizational resources that might otherwise be restricted. This method bypasses the default common endpoint, which is typically used for multi-tenant applications and may not always grant the necessary permissions for personal accounts.

Please give this a try and let me know if it resolves the issue or if you encounter any further difficulties.

Hello Moosa,

Thank you for sharing the solution earlier. I gave it a try, but unfortunately, the issue persists. I’ve tested it in an incognito window using the tenant-specific URL: https://portal.azure.com/f8cXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXX55a

However, I’m still encountering the same error. Is this the correct tenant ID for my account?

Could you please verify if the tenant ID I’m using is correct? My account is associated with the email address: ******@xxxx.xxxx.

I’d appreciate it if you could look into this and assist me in resolving the issue as soon as possible.

Hello Docparser,

Regarding the error:"Unable to Update Redirect URI – Client is not authorized to update apps using consumer identity," occurs when you use personal (Microsoft) account.

To resolve this:

It's recommended to use a work or school account, as this ensures proper access rights.
Try accessing the portal using Incognito/Private mode in your browser to avoid issues caused by cached data or cookies.

Additionally, you can try accessing the Azure portal via your tenant-specific endpoint:

https://portal.azure.com/yourtenantid

Please replace yourtenantid with your organization's actual tenant ID.
