For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

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. Attribute Definition Administrator is the only privileged role supported for this operation.

By default, Global Administrator and other administrator roles don't have permissions to read, define, or assign custom security attributes.
