Create allowedValue

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Create a new allowedValue object.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	CustomSecAttributeDefinition.ReadWrite.All	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	CustomSecAttributeDefinition.ReadWrite.All	Not available.

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. Attribute Definition Administrator is the only privileged role supported for this operation.

By default, Global Administrator and other administrator roles don't have permissions to read, define, or assign custom security attributes.

HTTP request

POST /directory/customSecurityAttributeDefinitions/{customSecurityAttributeDefinitionId}/allowedValues

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of the allowedValue object.

The following table shows the properties that are required when you create an allowedValue.

Property	Type	Description
id	String	Identifier for the predefined value. Can be up to 64 characters long and include Unicode characters. Can include spaces, but some special characters aren't allowed. Can't be changed later. Case sensitive. Required.
isActive	Boolean	Indicates whether the predefined value is active or deactivated. If set to false, this predefined value can't be assigned to any additional supported directory objects. Required.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and an allowedValue object in the response body.
