Programmatic administration

You can also manage access packages, catalogs, policies, requests, and assignments using Microsoft Graph. A user in an appropriate role with an application that has the delegated EntitlementManagement.Read.All or EntitlementManagement.ReadWrite.All permission can call the entitlement management API. For more information, see the Tutorial: manage access to resources - Microsoft Graph. An application with the EntitlementManagement.Read.All or EntitlementManagement.ReadWrite.All application permissions can also use many of those API functions, except for managing resources in catalogs and access packages. An application that only needs to operate within specific catalogs can be added to the Catalog owner or Catalog reader roles of a catalog to be authorized to update or read within that catalog.
