As the title says, I have a user "User1" in a group "Techs" and "Techs" is a Role Enabled Azure AD, Cloud Only, Security Group that is assigned both the Exchange Administrator, Helpdesk Administrator and Exchange Recipients Administrator roles.
User1 is able to powershell and use most cmdlets for mailbox management, but is unable to access the EAC. Attempting to access EAC sends User1 to a mailbox management page for their own mailbox, and attempting to Edit Mailbox Properties for a user in the Microsoft 365 Portal greets User1 with a 403 forbidden page.
Direct assignment of exchange admin role works, but defeats the purpose of using a group. Anyone else experience this or know how I can fix it?
Currently, it is possible to switch back to the existing EAC (often called the "classic" EAC), but at a future date, the classic EAC will be retired.
But I suggest not to use "classic" EAC for work because according to my test, the methods listed here cannot allow the exchange admin to manage the mailboxes in the tenant.
It's recommended to access new EAC using these 2 methods.
Sign in to Microsoft 365 or Office 365 using your work or school account.
In the left navigation pane, navigate to Admin centers > Exchange.
You can also get to the new Exchange admin center directly by using
the URL https://admin.exchange.microsoft.com and signing in using your
credentials.
As the document suggests, Be sure to use a private browsing session (not a regular session) to access the Exchange admin center using the direct URL. This will prevent the credential that you are currently logged on with from being used.
In this way, your user which is assigned Exchange Admin role with Group inherit way should be able to access EAC successfully.

I have an issue with accessing user data with microsoft graph api.
Context : I have a web app with a calendar inside for my users. I would like to give the user the possibility to synchronise this calendar with their microsoft calendar. I did the same thing with google calendars and it works well.
Problem : I registered an app on azure and setup my code with the correct access to login and get a token from the graph api.
It kinda works but i can only log in with the address i used to create my app on azure.
So lets say my admin address on azure is test#azure.com , then i can log in and access the data i want . But if i try with another address like for example test#customer.com, then it fails and display this message :
I keep looking for a way but the Microsoft graph documentation doesn't seem to talk about this problem.
I tried to add the account as an external user, like the message says (and maybe i did it wrong i'm not really sure of this part) but then i can log in but the data i can access doesn't match the data on the account i tried with, as if adding the user as an external user created a "new" user in my organisation.
What I want : I would like to be able to access the data of any user that try to log in with a microsoft email (if they accept the permissions of course).
It's my first time using the graph api so maybe i'm missing something simple...
Thanks
Based on the So thread reference:
When a user authenticates against your tenant, you only have access to the data controlled by your tenant. In other words, if test1#outlook.com authenticates against yourtenant.onmicrosoft.com tenant, you don't gain access to their outlook.com email.
Reason you're able to see the outlook.com email from Graph Explorer is that Graph Explorer is authenticating against their outlook.com account.
In other way, Graph Explorer is authenticating test1#outlook.com against the outlook.com tenant, not yourtenant.onmicrosoft.com.
When a user authenticates against a given tenant, that token only provides access to data within that single tenant. Microsoft Graph does not allow you to cross tenant boundaries.
Thanks Hong for the comment, you may also set your app registration to "multitenant + personal accounts"
So Reference: MS Graph External User 401 Unathorized
I have a Microsoft Teams group tab and I'd like to implement a permission system in which users can do different things in the tab depending on their role in the team (or channel). The context I get from the Teams JavaScript API cannot be trusted, so I have to check group/team/channel role through the MS Graph API.
The only way I've found to check whether a user is an owner or only a member of a team is to call /teams/{groupId}/channels/{channelId}/members. In the response I can see which roles users have and I so I can find out if the current user has owner privileges.
The problem is that this endpoint requires admin consent (I guess because it displays data of other users). I'd like to avoid having to ask for admin consent, however. Is there another way of finding out about the role of a user in a team without admin consent? (As private channels behave differently in Teams, this would be the same as finding out about the role in a channel)
I know that I can get if a user is in a group through the optional group claims that are added to the ID token but this doesn't include the rule inside the group/team/channel.
To read a user's role in a channel currently requires admin consent, the permission needed is ChannelMember.Read.All see list conversation member documentation here. Admin consent is also required to get a member of a team or list members in a team. For your particular use case, I would recommend asking your admin to grant these permissions.
How can I find out what admin permissions are blocking the user from signing in to an Azure AD app?
I am setting up an App Registration in the Azure AD portal to be used with my Service Fabric cluster. The app registration does basic auth and only has one Required Permission configured: Sign in and read user profile (which does NOT require admin permission).
My tenant has the "Users can consent to apps accessing company data on their behalf" setting to "Yes", so it's not that.
Also, the /authorize request doesn't have any resource parameter, so it's implicitly asking for the permission I configured: Azure AD's Sign in and read user profile.
However when an non-admin user attempts to sign it, I still get the error:
AADSTS90094: The grant requires admin permission
I reproduced the scenario and this is what I observed. Found a workaround, hope it helps.
First I created a Service Fabric (SF) cluster secured with AAD authentication using the steps described here, using an AAD tenant where I am not a global admin.
Then I tried to login to Service Fabric Explorer (SFX) and I got this error:
AADSTS50105: The signed in user is not assigned to a role for the
application 'f8c79129-deb7-4a21-a6e0-ec29e88298ef'
This is expected, because the user must be assigned to a role (Admin or ReadOnly) in the SF application that represents the cluster. So I went to AAD > Enterprise Applications > found my cluster app and under Users and Groups I added myself to the Admin role. Notice that the fact that a regular user can administer the roles of an application that the user owns is something new, it's available since a month or so -- before that, a regular user couldn't administer the roles of an application.
Then I tried to login again to SFX and I got a different error:
AADSTS65005: Invalid resource. The client has requested access to a
resource which is not listed in the requested permissions in the
client's application registration. Client app ID:
f8c79129-deb7-4a21-a6e0-ec29e88298ef. Resource value from request: .
Resource app ID: 00000002-0000-0000-c000-000000000000. List of valid
resources from app registration: .
00000002-0000-0000-c000-000000000000 is Windows Azure Active Directory. For some reason SetupApplications.ps1 doesn't assign the Sign in and Read User Profile permission to the SF cluster application. So I edited the application and I assigned that permission, just like you showed in your print screen. Notice that SetupApplications.ps1 has a parameter AddResourceAccess (not mentioned in the doc) that adds that permission, not sure why it doesn't add it by default. Perhaps it isn't needed when you run SetupApplications.ps1 as a global admin, and the scripts/doc assumes that you are a global admin.
Then I tried to login to SFX again and I got the same error that you observed:
AADSTS90094: The grant requires admin permission.
So I checked the SF application under AAD > Enterprise Applications > found the SF cluster app > Properties. User assignment required is configured "Yes". I changed it to "No" and tried to login to SFX. This time it worked OK, I could consent and access the SFX console. Then I changed User assignment required again to "Yes".
One can argue if the SF app really needs User assignment required > Yes because anyway if a user is not assigned to the Admin or ReadOnly role, SFX will try to fallback to client certificate authentication.
In either way, the AAD behavior is confusing. At least, the error should be more descriptive and point to the User assignment configuration. Perhaps the current behavior has to do with what I mentioned before, that regular users can now administer roles. Perhaps the behavior is being improved.
I am added to project collection administrator group in VSTS. Still not able to add a new user. I am added using my official email ID i.e. Microsoft work account.
Its says
Guest users are not allowed to perform this action.
I saw the reason on this link
I believe the primary reason for this error is because when a co-admin
with Microsoft account is added to a subscription, it gets added into
the subscription AD as Guest user type.
but since it is very old thread i like to know if there is an easy way to get myself ability to add new user or basically manage VSTS on behalf of client. I hate requesting client to add a new user in team. Also he is not tech savvy so I would like suggest him a simple solution (running Powershell might be annoying for him).
You are inviting users from outside directory. The user will be able to access the account and its resources, so you need the enough permission to add new user to the AD, but you are the Guest user, so it throws Guest Users are not allowed to perform this action.
You need to contact to the corresponding user (e.g. AD admin) to add users to AD or grant the enough role and permission to you to add user to AD.
No easy way to do this, because it is related to security.
I'm creating an application in with angular and nodejs and I need to be able to read another user's list of events. Right now I am attempting to use "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/otherusername#companyurl.com/events" this gives me the 403 "Access is denied. Check credentials and try again.". However, if I use "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/myusername#companyurl.com/events" it works(as most would expect). My question is, why is it when I use outlook I can use scheduling assistant to see the events for "otherusername#companyurl.com" without being an admin but in my application I cannot see their events due to credentials?
The library I'm using to connect to microsoft graph api is https://github.com/AzureAD/azure-activedirectory-library-for-js
The delegated permissions I have set in azure are
View users' email address
Sign users in
Read user contacts
Have full access to user calendars
Read user calendars
Send mail as a user
Read directory data
Read all users' basic profiles
Sign in and read user profile
Application permissions (I understand these require admin)
Read calendars in all mailboxes
Graph api permission scopes
Any help is appreciated, thankyou.
Fugal - This is by design. You can use FindMeetingTimes API to schedule meetings with other users. This can be accomplished with just Calendar.Read permission. See http://graph.microsoft.io/en-us/docs/api-reference/beta/api/user_findmeetingtimes for more info.
For you to view another user's calendar using /events endpoint, you need a special permission (something like Calendar.Read.Shared) that we are still in the process of adding. Once we add that, you will be able to use /Events to access any calendar that another user has explicitly shared with you. But if you want to just schedule meetings, FindMeetingTimes should be sufficient.
