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

Delegated (work or school account)
AppRoleAssignment.ReadWrite.All

Application
AppRoleAssignment.ReadWrite.All
Not available.
HTTP request
POST /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/appRoleAssignments
Note
As a best practice, we recommend creating app role assignments through the appRoleAssignedTo relationship of the resource service principal, instead of the appRoleAssignments relationship of the assigned user, group, or service principal.
