Manage Microsoft Entra identity and network access capabilities by using Microsoft Graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

With Microsoft Graph, you can manage identity and network access capabilities, most of which are available through Microsoft Entra. The APIs in Microsoft Graph help you to automate identity and network access management tasks and integrate with any application, and are the programmatic alternative to the administrator portals such as the Microsoft Entra admin center.

Microsoft Entra is a family of identity and network access capabilities that are available in the following products. All these capabilities are available through Microsoft Graph APIs:

  • Microsoft Entra ID that groups identity and access management (IAM) capabilities.
  • Microsoft Entra ID Governance
  • Microsoft Entra External ID
  • Microsoft Entra Verified ID
  • Microsoft Entra Permissions Management
  • Microsoft Entra Internet Access and Network Access

Manage user identities

Users are the main identities in any identity and access solution. You can manage the entire lifecycle of users in your organization, and their entitlements like licenses or group memberships, using Microsoft Graph APIs. For more information, see Working with users in Microsoft Graph.

Manage groups

Groups are the containers that allow you to efficiently manage the entitlements for identities as a unit. For example, through a group, you can grant users access to a resource, such as a SharePoint site. Or you can grant them licenses to use a service. For more information, see Working with groups in Microsoft Graph.

Manage applications

You can use Microsoft Graph APIs to register and manage your applications programmatically, enabling you to use Microsoft's IAM capabilities. For more information, see Manage Microsoft Entra applications and service principals by using Microsoft Graph.


Tenant administration or directory management

A core functionality of identity and access management is managing your tenant configuration, administrative roles, and settings. Microsoft Graph provides APIs to manage your Microsoft Entra tenant for the following scenarios:
