Least privileged roles by task in Microsoft Entra ID

  • Чланак

In this article, you can find the information needed to restrict a user's administrator permissions by assigning least privileged roles in Microsoft Entra ID. You will find tasks organized by feature area and the least privileged role required to perform each task, along with additional non-Global Administrator roles that can perform the task.

You can further restrict permissions by assigning roles at smaller scopes or by creating your own custom roles. For more information, see Assign Microsoft Entra roles at different scopes or Create and assign a custom role in Microsoft Entra ID.
