Create externalDomainName

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Add multiple domains to your SAML or WS-Fed based configuration by creating a new externalDomainName object and add it to an existing samlOrWsFedExternalDomainFederation.

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	IdentityProvider.ReadWrite.All	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	IdentityProvider.ReadWrite.All	Not available.

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. External Identity Provider Administrator is the least privileged role supported for this operation.
