You can specify the following properties when creating an unifiedRoleEligibilityScheduleRequest.
Property
Type
Description
action
unifiedRoleScheduleRequestActions
Represents the type of operation on the role eligibility request.The possible values are: adminAssign, adminUpdate, adminRemove, selfActivate, selfDeactivate, adminExtend, adminRenew, selfExtend, selfRenew, unknownFutureValue.
adminAssign: For administrators to assign eligible roles to principals.
adminRemove: For administrators to remove eligible roles from principals.
adminUpdate: For administrators to change existing role eligibilities.
adminExtend: For administrators to extend expiring role eligibilities.
adminRenew: For administrators to renew expired eligibilities.
selfActivate: For users to activate their assignments.
selfDeactivate: For users to deactivate their active assignments.
selfExtend: For users to request to extend their expiring assignments.
SelfRenew: For users to request to renew their expired assignments.
appScopeId
String
Identifier of the app-specific scope when the role eligibility is scoped to an app. The scope of a role eligibility determines the set of resources for which the principal is eligible to access. App scopes are scopes that are defined and understood by this application only. Use / for tenant-wide app scopes. Use directoryScopeId to limit the scope to particular directory objects, for example, administrative units. Either directoryScopeId or appScopeId is required.
directoryScopeId
String
Identifier of the directory object representing the scope of the role eligibility. The scope of an role eligibility determines the set of resources for which the principal has been granted access. Directory scopes are shared scopes stored in the directory that are understood by multiple applications. Use / for tenant-wide scope. Use appScopeId to limit the scope to an application only. Either directoryScopeId or appScopeId is required.
isValidationOnly
Boolean
Determines whether the call is a validation or an actual call. Only set this property if you want to check whether an activation is subject to additional rules like MFA before actually submitting the request. Optional.
justification
String
A message provided by users and administrators when create they create the unifiedRoleEligibilityScheduleRequest object.
Optional for selfDeactivate and adminRemove actions; might be optional or required for other action types depending on the rules in the policy that's linked to the Microsoft Entra role. For more information, see Rules in PIM.
principalId
String
Identifier of the principal that has been granted the role eligibility. Required.
roleDefinitionId
String
Identifier of the unifiedRoleDefinition object that is being assigned to the principal. Required.
The period of the role eligibility. Optional when action is adminRemove. The period of eligibility is dependent on the settings of the Microsoft Entra role.
Ticket details linked to the role eligibility request including details of the ticket number and ticket system.
Optional for selfDeactivate and adminRemove actions; might be optional or required for other action types depending on the rules in the policy that's linked to the Microsoft Entra role. For more information, see Rules in PIM.
