Grant granular permissions to security groups

Appropriate roles: Admin agent

You can assign customer-approved, Microsoft Entra roles to security groups.

You can then grant those security groups granular delegated admin privileges (GDAP).

Prerequisites

Partners should first set up the security group.

Depict zero or no access assignments

A yellow warning icon is displayed next to an admin relationship if there are no access assignments associated with it.

  5. Select Next, which displays the Select Microsoft Entra roles side panel.

  6. Choose the Microsoft Entra roles you want to assign to the security group for that admin relationship.

    All the users assigned to the security group can now administer services from their Service management page.

Dynamics 365 delegated admins

Delegated administrators:

  • Aren't visible in a customer's Microsoft Entra user list
  • Can't be managed by a customer's internal admin

However, when a delegated admin logs into a Dynamics 365 environment on behalf of a customer, they're automatically created as a user inside the Dynamics 365 environment. That means that the actions performed by a delegated admin, such as posting documents, are logged in Dynamics 365 and associated with their ID in the partner's Microsoft Entra.

The internal admin can see which changes are made by delegated admin, and which partner a specific user works for, but they can't see the user's name or other customer content.
