App Role assignment to service principal --

 Using Ms Graph Rest API's

Permissions

One of the following permissions is required to call this API. To learn more, including how to choose permissions, see Permissions.

Permission typePermissions (from least to most privileged)
Delegated (work or school account)AppRoleAssignment.ReadWrite.All and Application.Read.All, AppRoleAssignment.ReadWrite.All and Directory.Read.All, Application.ReadWrite.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)Not supported.
ApplicationAppRoleAssignment.ReadWrite.All and Application.Read.All, AppRoleAssignment.ReadWrite.All and Directory.Read.All, Application.ReadWrite.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All

Create 2 app registrations.

App role owner will contain the app role that will be assigned to a service principal.

The  reader role in approleowner will be added to the approlesubscriber


Setup postman to use the Oauth auth flow to get a token for MS Graph.
ClientId:   Application (client) ID for approlesubscriber
Client Secret: secret for approlesubscriber
Scope: https://graph.microsoft.com/.default
Auth URL:  https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenantId}/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
Access Token URL:  https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenantId}/oauth2/v2.0/token


Assign the delegated permissions so that we can act on behalf of the logged in user.

Service Endpoints --

 1. Create a VNET with 2 subnets 2. Create a service endpoint policy. That enables us to specify which particular storage account to connect to. This is currently enabled for storage accounts alone. Otherwise as part of service endpoints we can specify the resource provider alone and not a specific resource. We can specify this service endpoint policy while creating a service endpoint. Only storage account allow service endpoint policies as of now. If we notice then selecting cosmos db or any other service other than storage will not have the ability to accept service endpoint policies. As mentioned microsoft.storage allows us to add service endpoint policies. Thus we can specify a particular resource within a provider This is 1 way of enabling service endpoints. Or we can directly go to the storage account and from the networking tab select Sub1. This will automatically configure service endpoints and will add a service endpoint policy that enables the resource to connect to the s...

Function APP and KV integration

 Create a function App and enable system assigned identity Create  a Keyvault and add a secret (Name in my case) Configure Access policies for the function app in keyvault Create an  access policy in Key Vault   for the application identity you created earlier. Enable the "Get" secret permission on this policy. Do not configure the "authorized application" or   applicationId   settings, as this is not compatible with a managed identity. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/app-service-key-vault-references Key Vault references currently only support system-assigned managed identities. User-assigned identities cannot be used. We are granting our function app permissions to get and list all the secrets in this keyvault. Add Key Vault secrets reference in the Function App configuration Go to the keyvault and click on the secret we just created. Copy the secret identifier. We need to add this value to the function app configuration.  @Microsof...

Azure AD Authentication And Authorization

ROLE BASED AUTHORIZATION Step1:   Setup  API. 1. Create an app registration and create an app role. Make sure that the app role is assigned to user and applications. We add it to both user groups and applications as this role can be then assigned to both users and applications. Scopes can only be assigned to apps. Now we can have only users with this role access our application. This app role behind the scenes adds an approles section to the manifest.json. We can directly add it to the manifest file also. Step 2:  Setup an app registration for the UI/ WEB App. . We will grant this app the read role created in the API app (shown above). Go to Azure AD and select the UI app registration. When we register an application 2 elements get created. 1. App registration  2. Enterprise Application -- service principal that get created for the app Adding roles to applications Go to the App registration => API Persmissions => Add a Permission => My API's The My Api's sec...
