Note

The HTTP with Microsoft Entra ID (preauthorized) connector enables users to submit requests to any HTTP endpoint that supports Entra ID authentication. As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance security and data privacy, we have reviewed the permissions associated with this connector and are planning to provide improved identity isolation controls.

Currently, the HTTP with Microsoft Entra ID (preauthorized) connector operates through a Microsoft 1st party trusted application. This application includes preauthorization for various Microsoft services, including but not limited to Microsoft Graph, SharePoint, and other Microsoft offerings. This preauthorization empowers the connector to interact with these services using delegated access on behalf of the user. Rest assured that this approach fully respects the user's privileges and does not permit access to data or actions beyond their authorized scope.

With the existing connector, there is no need for administrators to explicitly grant consent for actions to be executed by the application on behalf of the user. However, we released a new version of this connector. The new version of the connector uses a new application without any preauthorization. This allows an administrator to grant discrete consent.

If you wish to restrict the use of this connector, you can leverage the existing Data Loss Prevention (DLP) capabilities. You have the option to create a new policy or update an existing one to block the utilization of this connector. It is important to note that some other connectors and features depend on the HTTP with Microsoft Entra ID (preauthorized) connector. For additional information, click here.

Known Issues and Limitations

  1. The connector encodes the request body into base64 encoding, hence it should be used to call backend services which expect the request body in this format. You cannot use this connector to call a backend service that expects the request body in raw binary format.

  2. If you get an error similar to:

  • { "error": { "code": "Forbidden", "message": "" } }
  • { "error": { "code": "Authorization_RequestDenied", "message": "Insufficient privileges to complete the operation." } } then it could be because this connector has a limited set of scopes.
  • Users may also face pre-authorization errors when connecting to some resources that are not supported.
  • If your scenario requires something more advanced, please use the "HTTP" connector or create a custom connector.
  1. The connector is based on multi-tenant application registration. The application cannot tell what tenant the user is from until the user signs into it. Therefore, we only support specifying resources under users' default tenant ('common').

  2. Resources based on ADFS SSO (Microsoft Entra ID Federation Services for Single Sign-On) are not supported. As a workaround, please use the "HTTP" connector.

  3. When using this connector in a national cloud environment the resource must be their national cloud endpoint equivalent. Attempts to try to connect to public cloud (https://graph.microsoft.com, https://bing.com for example) from most national cloud environments will fail with a pre-authorization error.

  4. The use of cookie authorization request header is not supported in case of on-premises data gateway enabled connection.

  5. The asynchronous pattern based on the response Location header is not supported. Please use Azure Resource Manager connector instead if applicable.

Creating a connection

The connector supports the following authentication types:

Parameters for creating connection.

This is not shareable connection. If the power app is shared with another user, another user will be prompted to create new connection explicitly.
