Microsoft Entra built-in roles

In Microsoft Entra ID, if another administrator or non-administrator needs to manage Microsoft Entra resources, you assign them a Microsoft Entra role that provides the permissions they need. For example, you can assign roles to allow adding or changing users, resetting user passwords, managing user licenses, or managing domain names.

This article lists the Microsoft Entra built-in roles you can assign to allow management of Microsoft Entra resources. For information about how to assign roles, see Assign Microsoft Entra roles to users. If you are looking for roles to manage Azure resources, see Azure built-in roles.

Application Administrator

Privileged label icon.

This is a privileged role. Users in this role can create and manage all aspects of enterprise applications, application registrations, and application proxy settings. Note that users assigned to this role are not added as owners when creating new application registrations or enterprise applications.

This role also grants the ability to consent for delegated permissions and application permissions, with the exception of application permissions for Azure AD Graph and Microsoft Graph.

Important

This exception means that you can still consent to application permissions for other apps (for example, other Microsoft apps, 3rd-party apps, or apps that you have registered). You can still request these permissions as part of the app registration, but granting (that is, consenting to) these permissions requires a more privileged administrator, such as Privileged Role Administrator.

This role grants the ability to manage application credentials. Users assigned this role can add credentials to an application, and use those credentials to impersonate the application’s identity. If the application’s identity has been granted access to a resource, such as the ability to create or update User or other objects, then a user assigned to this role could perform those actions while impersonating the application. This ability to impersonate the application’s identity may be an elevation of privilege over what the user can do via their role assignments. It is important to understand that assigning a user to the Application Administrator role gives them the ability to impersonate an application’s identity.

Authentication Administrator

Privileged label icon.

This is a privileged role. Assign the Authentication Administrator role to users who need to do the following:

  • Set or reset any authentication method (including passwords) for non-administrators and some roles. For a list of the roles that an Authentication Administrator can read or update authentication methods, see Who can reset passwords.
  • Require users who are non-administrators or assigned to some roles to re-register against existing non-password credentials (for example, MFA or FIDO), and can also revoke remember MFA on the device, which prompts for MFA on the next sign-in.
  • Manage MFA settings in the legacy MFA management portal.
  • Perform sensitive actions for some users. For more information, see Who can perform sensitive actions.
  • Create and manage support tickets in Azure and the Microsoft 365 admin center.

Users with this role cannot do the following:

  • Cannot change the credentials or reset MFA for members and owners of a role-assignable group.
  • Cannot manage Hardware OATH tokens.

The following table compares the capabilities of authentication-related roles.

Role Manage user's auth methods Manage per-user MFA Manage MFA settings Manage auth method policy Manage password protection policy Update sensitive properties Delete and restore users

  • Application Registration and Enterprise Application owners, who can manage credentials of apps they own. Those apps may have privileged permissions in Microsoft Entra ID and elsewhere not granted to Authentication Administrators. Through this path an Authentication Administrator can assume the identity of an application owner and then further assume the identity of a privileged application by updating the credentials for the application.
  • Azure subscription owners, who may have access to sensitive or private information or critical configuration in Azure.
  • Security Group and Microsoft 365 group owners, who can manage group membership. Those groups may grant access to sensitive or private information or critical configuration in Microsoft Entra ID and elsewhere.
  • Administrators in other services outside of Microsoft Entra ID like Exchange Online, Microsoft 365 Defender portal, Microsoft Purview compliance portal, and human resources systems.
  • Non-administrators like executives, legal counsel, and human resources employees who may have access to sensitive or private information.

B2C IEF Keyset Administrator

Privileged label icon.

This is a privileged role. User can create and manage policy keys and secrets for token encryption, token signatures, and claim encryption/decryption. By adding new keys to existing key containers, this limited administrator can roll over secrets as needed without impacting existing applications. This user can see the full content of these secrets and their expiration dates even after their creation.

Important

This is a sensitive role. The keyset administrator role should be carefully audited and assigned with care during pre-production and production.

Actions Description
microsoft.directory/b2cTrustFrameworkKeySet/allProperties/allTasks Read and configure key sets in Azure Active Directory B2C
Privileged label icon.

B2C IEF Policy Administrator

Users in this role have the ability to create, read, update, and delete all custom policies in Azure AD B2C and therefore have full control over the Identity Experience Framework in the relevant Azure AD B2C organization. By editing policies, this user can establish direct federation with external identity providers, change the directory schema, change all user-facing content (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), change the requirements to complete an authentication, create new users, send user data to external systems including full migrations, and edit all user information including sensitive fields like passwords and phone numbers. Conversely, this role cannot change the encryption keys or edit the secrets used for federation in the organization.

Important

The B2 IEF Policy Administrator is a highly sensitive role which should be assigned on a very limited basis for organizations in production. Activities by these users should be closely audited, especially for organizations in production.

Actions Description
microsoft.directory/b2cTrustFrameworkPolicy/allProperties/allTasks Read and configure custom policies in Azure Active Directory B2C

Cloud Application Administrator

Privileged label icon.

This is a privileged role. Users in this role have the same permissions as the Application Administrator role, excluding the ability to manage application proxy. This role grants the ability to create and manage all aspects of enterprise applications and application registrations. Users assigned to this role are not added as owners when creating new application registrations or enterprise applications.

This role also grants the ability to consent for delegated permissions and application permissions, with the exception of application permissions for Azure AD Graph and Microsoft Graph.

Important

This exception means that you can still consent to application permissions for other apps (for example, other Microsoft apps, 3rd-party apps, or apps that you have registered). You can still request these permissions as part of the app registration, but granting (that is, consenting to) these permissions requires a more privileged administrator, such as Privileged Role Administrator.

This role grants the ability to manage application credentials. Users assigned this role can add credentials to an application, and use those credentials to impersonate the application’s identity. If the application’s identity has been granted access to a resource, such as the ability to create or update User or other objects, then a user assigned to this role could perform those actions while impersonating the application. This ability to impersonate the application’s identity may be an elevation of privilege over what the user can do via their role assignments. It is important to understand that assigning a user to the Application Administrator role gives them the ability to impersonate an application’s identity.

Changes to Identity Experience Framework policies (also known as custom policies) are also outside the scope of this role.

Actions Description

External ID User Flow Attribute Administrator

Users with this role add or delete custom attributes available to all user flows in the Microsoft Entra organization. As such, users with this role can change or add new elements to the end-user schema and impact the behavior of all user flows and indirectly result in changes to what data may be asked of end users and ultimately sent as claims to applications. This role cannot edit user flows.

External Identity Provider Administrator

Privileged label icon.

This is a privileged role. This administrator manages federation between Microsoft Entra organizations and external identity providers. With this role, users can add new identity providers and configure all available settings (e.g. authentication path, service ID, assigned key containers). This user can enable the Microsoft Entra organization to trust authentications from external identity providers. The resulting impact on end-user experiences depends on the type of organization:

  • Microsoft Entra organizations for employees and partners: The addition of a federation (e.g. with Gmail) will immediately impact all guest invitations not yet redeemed. See Adding Google as an identity provider for B2B guest users.
  • Azure Active Directory B2C organizations: The addition of a federation (for example, with Facebook, or with another Microsoft Entra organization) does not immediately impact end-user flows until the identity provider is added as an option in a user flow (also called a built-in policy). See Configuring a Microsoft account as an identity provider for an example. To change user flows, the limited role of "B2C User Flow Administrator" is required.
Actions Description

Global Administrator

Privileged label icon.

This is a privileged role. Users with this role have access to all administrative features in Microsoft Entra ID, as well as services that use Microsoft Entra identities like the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, the Microsoft Purview compliance portal, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and Skype for Business Online. Global Administrators can view Directory Activity logs. Furthermore, Global Administrators can elevate their access to manage all Azure subscriptions and management groups. This allows Global Administrators to get full access to all Azure resources using the respective Microsoft Entra tenant. The person who signs up for the Microsoft Entra organization becomes a Global Administrator. There can be more than one Global Administrator at your company. Global Administrators can reset the password for any user and all other administrators. A Global Administrator cannot remove their own Global Administrator assignment. This is to prevent a situation where an organization has zero Global Administrators.

Note

As a best practice, Microsoft recommends that you assign the Global Administrator role to fewer than five people in your organization. For more information, see Best practices for Microsoft Entra roles.

Helpdesk Administrator

Privileged label icon.

This is a privileged role. Users with this role can change passwords, invalidate refresh tokens, create and manage support requests with Microsoft for Azure and Microsoft 365 services, and monitor service health. Invalidating a refresh token forces the user to sign in again. Whether a Helpdesk Administrator can reset a user's password and invalidate refresh tokens depends on the role the user is assigned. For a list of the roles that a Helpdesk Administrator can reset passwords for and invalidate refresh tokens, see Who can reset passwords.

Users with this role cannot do the following:

Important

Users with this role can change passwords for people who may have access to sensitive or private information or critical configuration inside and outside of Microsoft Entra ID. Changing the password of a user may mean the ability to assume that user's identity and permissions. For example:

  • Application Registration and Enterprise Application owners, who can manage credentials of apps they own. Those apps may have privileged permissions in Microsoft Entra ID and elsewhere not granted to Helpdesk Administrators. Through this path a Helpdesk Administrator may be able to assume the identity of an application owner and then further assume the identity of a privileged application by updating the credentials for the application.
  • Azure subscription owners, who might have access to sensitive or private information or critical configuration in Azure.
  • Security Group and Microsoft 365 group owners, who can manage group membership. Those groups may grant access to sensitive or private information or critical configuration in Microsoft Entra ID and elsewhere.
  • Administrators in other services outside of Microsoft Entra ID like Exchange Online, Microsoft 365 Defender portal, Microsoft Purview compliance portal, and human resources systems.
  • Non-administrators like executives, legal counsel, and human resources employees who may have access to sensitive or private information.

Delegating administrative permissions over subsets of users and applying policies to a subset of users is possible with Administrative Units.

This role was previously named Password Administrator in the Azure portal. It was renamed to Helpdesk Administrator to align with the existing name in the Microsoft Graph API and Microsoft Graph PowerShell.

Modern Commerce Administrator

Do not use. This role is automatically assigned from Commerce, and is not intended or supported for any other use. See details below.

The Modern Commerce Administrator role gives certain users permission to access Microsoft 365 admin center and see the left navigation entries for Home, Billing, and Support. The content available in these areas is controlled by commerce-specific roles assigned to users to manage products that they bought for themselves or your organization. This might include tasks like paying bills, or for access to billing accounts and billing profiles.

Users with the Modern Commerce Administrator role typically have administrative permissions in other Microsoft purchasing systems, but do not have Global Administrator or Billing Administrator roles used to access the admin center.

When is the Modern Commerce Administrator role assigned?

  • Self-service purchase in Microsoft 365 admin center – Self-service purchase gives users a chance to try out new products by buying or signing up for them on their own. These products are managed in the admin center. Users who make a self-service purchase are assigned a role in the commerce system, and the Modern Commerce Administrator role so they can manage their purchases in admin center. Admins can block self-service purchases (for Fabric, Power BI, Power Apps, Power automate) through PowerShell. For more information, see Self-service purchase FAQ.
  • Purchases from Microsoft commercial marketplace – Similar to self-service purchase, when a user buys a product or service from Microsoft AppSource or Azure Marketplace, the Modern Commerce Administrator role is assigned if they don’t have the Global Administrator or Billing Administrator role. In some cases, users might be blocked from making these purchases. For more information, see Microsoft commercial marketplace.
  • Proposals from Microsoft – A proposal is a formal offer from Microsoft for your organization to buy Microsoft products and services. When the person who is accepting the proposal doesn’t have a Global Administrator or Billing Administrator role in Microsoft Entra ID, they are assigned both a commerce-specific role to complete the proposal and the Modern Commerce Administrator role to access admin center. When they access the admin center they can only use features that are authorized by their commerce-specific role.
  • Commerce-specific roles – Some users are assigned commerce-specific roles. If a user isn't a Global Administrator or Billing Administrator, they get the Modern Commerce Administrator role so they can access the admin center.

If the Modern Commerce Administrator role is unassigned from a user, they lose access to Microsoft 365 admin center. If they were managing any products, either for themselves or for your organization, they won’t be able to manage them. This might include assigning licenses, changing payment methods, paying bills, or other tasks for managing subscriptions.

Those apps may have privileged permissions in Microsoft Entra ID and elsewhere not granted to Authentication Administrators. Through this path an Authentication Administrator can assume the identity of an application owner and then further assume the identity of a privileged application by updating the credentials for the application.
  • Azure subscription owners, who may have access to sensitive or private information or critical configuration in Azure.
  • Security Group and Microsoft 365 group owners, who can manage group membership. Those groups may grant access to sensitive or private information or critical configuration in Microsoft Entra ID and elsewhere.
  • Administrators in other services outside of Microsoft Entra ID like Exchange Online, Microsoft 365 Defender portal, and Microsoft Purview compliance portal, and human resources systems.
