Is there a way to add guest users to Azure AD in an automated way?
The process should work like this:
A user is sending his microsoft address (e.g. john_doe#hotmail.com) via a form to our web service
The service is then adding this user to Azure AD by using the functionality "Invite User".
Is it possible to automate this?
An application can create Azure AD B2B invitations using Microsoft Graph. The invited user will still at some point have to go through the invitation redemption process.
Copying the example from the documentation:
POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/invitations
Content-type: application/json
{
"invitedUserEmailAddress": "yyy#example.com",
"inviteRedirectUrl": "https://myapp.com"
}
To make this request under the identity of the application, the application requires the app-only permission User.Invite.All.
This is documented in detail at:

I am looking to develop a SAAS product where tenant from different organizations can log into my application and there are specific set of custom Permissions that I want to create for my application which will allow users to access different endpoints in my application.
Application is hosted in a inhouse server.
Can someone please help me to understand what would be my approach to do so?
I am doing App Registration in Azure AD. And in the redirect uri I am passing my application url.
I am stuck after that.
I tried to reproduce the same in my environment and got the results like below:
To integrate the SaaS Application in Azure AD, Register an Application in Azure AD.
As you need tenant from different organizations log into the application, make sure to configure the Application as Multi-Tenant like below:
Based on your requirement you can select the API permission which you want the users to access like below:
For sample, I selected Microsoft Graph and added the required API permissions:
You can choose Delegated or Application API permissions based the Grant Flows.
For Client-Credentials, need to grant Application API permissions and for Authorization Code Flow need to grant Delegated API permissions.
For sample, I am using OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow to generate the token for authentication.
I generated Auth-Code using below authorize endpoint:
This will authorize the request and redirect it to the application.
I generated the token using below parameters:
Using the above generated Access token, you can call Microsoft Graph API.
If you want B2B collaboration, refer to the document provided by bahrep in the comments.

I need to register office 365 users residing in another Azure AD to be created programmatically using microsoft graph API into Azure AD B2C directory. I am successful in creating and logging into local accounts but creating external identity users hasn't been successful. The microsoft documentation is verbose too for this context. The scenario is as under.
Invited the user using invitation API.
User accepts the invitation received in their email and gets redirected to grant permission screen for the app, and then lands on the redirect url.
The user can be seen in Azure B2C users as invited and then external azure ad after invitation acceptance
Problem:
The same user can't login using the Signin flow that works for the local accounts. I noticed the signInIssuerId is also null for this user. The error received states please sign up user first/no account found.
I understand there is some disconnection behind where the invitation is sent but the user is not signed up from the graph api. How can this be achieved? I would hate to know if that would be possible only using IDEF / custom policies
Please help!
The problem is that these are social/federated users, not local ones.
You need to use the "SocialAndLocalAccounts" policies in the starter pack.
Invitations via the API are for B2B users. This type of user is not supported in B2C.
For examples of B2C invitations, look here.
I am trying to create a POF with Azure Active Directory because I am planning to use it later in a production application.
In Microsoft docs, the only way I found to login is being redirected to the microsoft page to provide username and password.
Is there some API I can use to get the access token providing username and password? and I can test it, for instance, using postman.
You could use Resource Owner Password Credentials(ROPC) flow to get access token. See the Important first to make sure you could use it in your application.
The Microsoft identity platform endpoint only supports ROPC for Azure AD tenants, not personal accounts. This means that you must use
a tenant-specific endpoint
(https://login.microsoftonline.com/{TenantId_or_Name}) or the
organizations endpoint.
Personal accounts that are invited to an Azure AD tenant can't use ROPC.
Accounts that don't have passwords can't sign in through ROPC. For this scenario, we recommend that you use a different flow for your app
instead.
If users need to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) to log in to the application, they will be blocked instead.
ROPC is not supported in hybrid identity federation scenarios (for example, Azure AD and ADFS used to authenticate on-premises accounts).
If users are full-page redirected to an on-premises identity
providers, Azure AD is not able to test the username and password
against that identity provider. Pass-through authentication is
supported with ROPC, however.
Try executing this request to obtain access token.
POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/v2.0/token
client_id=<your-app-id>
&scope=<scopes-in-api-permissions>
&username=<username>
&password=<password>
&grant_type=password
As you are looking to get an access token by sending the username and password
you can go with a postman or a curl operation
POST {tenant}/oauth2/v2.0/token
Host: login.microsoftonline.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
client_id=6731de76-14a6-49ae-97bc-6eba6914391e
&scope=user.read%20openid%20profile%20offline_access
&username=MyUsername#myTenant.com
&password=SuperS3cret
&grant_type=password
curl -X POST -d "client_id=clientid&scope=user.read&grant_type=password&username=username&password=Password" https://login.microsoftonline.com/tenantid/oauth2/v2.0/token
Note :Microsoft recommends you do not use the ROPC flow. In most
scenarios, more secure alternatives are available and recommended.
This flow requires a very high degree of trust in the application, and
carries risks which are not present in other flows. You should only
use this flow when other more secure flows can't be used.
We've been using Azure Active Directory and EWS SOAP web services successfully.
Trying to see if we can use our current authentication method to be able to also invoke Microsoft Graph (i.e. https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/)
I went into Azure and added Microsoft Graph under App Registrations -> Settings -> Required Permissions.
This was our authorize endpoint url:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize?resource=https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2F
I changed it to :
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize?resource=https%3A%2F%2Fgraph.microsoft.com
Is this all I had to do? When I try to go through the oAuth 2.0 flow, the authorize request seems successful, then I'm asked to enter my credentials, and then I get an error:
"Misconfigured application. This could be due to one of the
following: The client has not listed any permissions for 'Microsoft
Graph' in the requested permissions in the client's application
registration. Or, The admin has not consented in the tenant. Or, Check
the application identifier in the request to ensure it matches the
configured client application identifier. Please contact your admin to
fix the configuration or consent on behalf of the tenant. Client app
ID: b1313958-.... "
I went into Azure and added Microsoft Graph under App Registrations ->
Settings -> Required Permissions.
You mentioned this as part of your question. Please check if after performing these steps for your App Registration in Azure AD, did you click on the “Grant Permissions” button to provide consent or not.
Looking at the error it seems Consent for Microsoft Graph related permissions isn’t done yet.
When I try to login for the first time with new user via active directory to graphexplorer.windowsazure.net I get following scopes:
In my apps.dev.microsoft.com I have following permissions:
Why am I getting only these two scopes in access token:
Apps registered via the Application Registration Portal use the Azure AD v2 endpoint which supports incremental consent.
This means that while your app registration determines which scopes can be requested, you still need to specify specific scopes when you make the authorize request. Also, you should avoid requesting all scopes up front, rather incrementally request scopes as needed in the context of specific operations. So start out with your authorize request as you have it, with no extra scopes but when you need to send an email on behalf of the user issue another authorize request like so:
GET https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?
client_id=6731de76-14a6-49ae-97bc-6eba6914391e
&response_type=code
&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fmyapp%2F
&response_mode=query
&scope=
https%3A%2F%2Fgraph.microsoft.com%2Fmail.send
&state=12345
For more info on scopes in the v2.0 endpoint check out the Scopes, permissions, and consent in the Azure Active Directory v2.0 endpoint document.
For an example of an app that incrementally requests scopes, check out this Integrate Microsoft identity and the Microsoft Graph into a web application using OpenID Connect sample.
Also note that there 2 different Graph APIs:
Azure AD Graph (endpoint: graph.windows.net, explorer: https://graphexplorer.azurewebsites.net/)
Microsoft Graph (Endpoint: graph.microsoft.com, Explorer: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer)
From https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/active-directory-graph-api:
We strongly recommend that you use Microsoft Graph instead of Azure AD Graph API to access Azure Active Directory resources. Our development efforts are now concentrated on Microsoft Graph and no further enhancements are planned for Azure AD Graph API. There are a very limited number of scenarios for which Azure AD Graph API might still be appropriate; for more information, see the Microsoft Graph or the Azure AD Graph blog post in the Office Dev Center.
I'm not quite sure where that screen shot is coming from, but the URL you're going to is incorrect. The correct URL for Graph Explorer is https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer.
