Update servicePrincipal

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Update the properties of servicePrincipal object.

Important

Using PATCH to set passwordCredential is not supported. Use the addPassword and removePassword methods to update the password or secret for a servicePrincipal.

Permissions

One of the following permissions is required to call this API. To learn more, including how to choose permissions, see Permissions.

Permission type	Permissions (from least to most privileged)
Delegated (work or school account)	Application.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.
Application	Application.ReadWrite.OwnedBy, Application.ReadWrite.All

HTTP request

You can address the service principal using either its id or appId. id and appId are referred to as the Object ID and Application (Client) ID, respectively, in the Azure portal

PATCH /servicePrincipals/{id}
PATCH /servicePrincipals(appId='{appId}')

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply the values for relevant fields that should be updated. Existing properties that are not included in the request body will maintain their previous values or be recalculated based on changes to other property values. For best performance you shouldn't include existing values that haven't changed.

Property	Type	Description
accountEnabled	Boolean	true if the service principal account is enabled; otherwise, false.
addIns	addIn	Defines custom behavior that a consuming service can use to call an app in specific contexts. For example, applications that can render file streams may set the addIns property for its "FileHandler" functionality. This will let services like Microsoft 365 call the application in the context of a document the user is working on.
alternativeNames	String collection	Used to retrieve service principals by subscription, identify resource group and full resource ids for managed identities.
appRoleAssignmentRequired	Boolean	Specifies whether an appRoleAssignment to a user or group is required before Azure AD will issue a user or access token to the application. Not nullable.
appRoles	appRole collection	The application roles exposed by the associated application. For more information see the appRoles property definition on the application resource. Not nullable.
displayName	String	The display name for the service principal.
homepage	String	Home page or landing page of the application.
keyCredentials	keyCredential collection	The collection of key credentials associated with the service principal. Not nullable.
logoutUrl	String	Specifies the URL that will be used by Microsoft's authorization service to logout an user using front-channel, back-channel or SAML logout protocols.
oauth2PermissionScopes	permissionScope collection	The OAuth 2.0 permission scopes exposed by the associated application. For more information see the oauth2PermissionScopes property definition on the application resource. Not nullable.
preferredSingleSignOnMode	string	Specifies the single sign-on mode configured for this application. Azure AD uses the preferred single sign-on mode to launch the application from Microsoft 365 or the Azure AD My Apps. The supported values are password, saml, external, and oidc.
replyUrls	String collection	The URLs that user tokens are sent to for sign in with the associated application, or the redirect URIs that OAuth 2.0 authorization codes and access tokens are sent to for the associated application. Not nullable.
servicePrincipalNames	String collection	Contains the list of identifiersUris, copied over from the associated application. Additional values can be added to hybrid applications. These values can be used to identify the permissions exposed by this app within Azure AD. For example, Client apps requesting permissions to this resource can use these URIs to specify needed permissions in the requiredResourceAccess property of their application manifest, or in the "API permissions" blade on the App registrations experience. Client apps can specify a resource URI which is based on the values of this property to acquire an access token, which is the URI returned in the “aud” claim. The any operator is required for filter expressions on multi-valued properties. Not nullable.
tags	String collection	Custom strings that can be used to categorize and identify the application. Not nullable.
tokenEncryptionKeyId	String	Specifies the keyId of a public key from the keyCredentials collection. When configured, Azure AD issues tokens for this application encrypted using the key specified by this property. The application code that receives the encrypted token must use the matching private key to decrypt the token before it can be used for the signed-in user.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 204 No Content response code and updated servicePrincipal object in the response body.
