How can we improve Azure Active Directory?

← Azure Active Directory

Ability to Grant Permissions via API or Powershell

Azure AD allows you to create app registrations, define roles on them and give permissions to each other (as application identities). This way you can have a Web application talking to your API with its service principal and you can protect your API with roles.

Service Principal creation, role definition and permission assignment can be done through Portal, Powershell and API. But in order to make Application Permissions (which requires admin consent) work, you need someone with Global Administrator role to go to Azure Portal and click Grant Permissions button (or do the same thing via OAuth prompt on your web apps).

Right now there is no way to automatize Grant Permissions and it is a manual process at the moment. We confirmed this with the Microsoft Support and Product Teams as well.

If this can be managed via Powershell or API, we would like to include it in our Automation Runbooks and take the work load off of our security teams.
