App registrations in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) are required for applications that need to authenticate users or access secured resources. When you register an application in Azure AD, you are essentially creating an identity for your application so it can be authenticated and authorized to access Azure resources.
App registrations can request two types of permissions:
When managing consent, you have to consider who is granting the consent and the scope of the permissions being granted:
To manage app registration permission consent, Azure offers the following tools and features:
Azure AD allows you to configure who can give consent and to what extent:
Here’s a scenario for managing app registration and permission consent:
Suppose you have an application “MyResourceApp” that requires access to read user profiles and send emails on behalf of the user. When “MyResourceApp” is registered in Azure AD:
User.Read
and Mail.Send
. When a user signs in, they’ll be asked to consent to these permissions for the app to operate on their behalf.User.Read.All
and Mail.Send
. Only an administrator can grant these permissions because they apply across the entire tenant.Administrators should regularly review granted permissions for compliance and security purposes:
– Azure AD provides audit logs that allow administrators to monitor consent and permission grant events, aiding with investigations and compliance.
Managing app registration and permission consent is key to maintaining a secure Azure environment. It’s essential for organizations to properly configure and audit these consents to ensure both user and organizational data remain protected against unauthorized access. Regularly reviewing and updating these permissions according to the principle of least privilege will help mitigate potential security risks associated with application access to Azure resources.
Answer: A) True
Explanation: Azure AD has a feature for end users to consent to third-party multi-tenant applications access their data, although this can be restricted by an admin.
Answer: D) Both A and B
Explanation: Application permissions and delegated permissions that explicitly require admin consent will always need an administrator’s approval in Azure AD.
Answer: C) Get-AzureADEnterpriseApplication
Explanation: The Get-AzureADEnterpriseApplication cmdlet retrieves a list of enterprise applications within the Azure AD tenant.
Answer: A) True
Explanation: Azure AD provides the administrators with the ability to require consent for any third-party application, ensuring control over which applications can access their organization data.
Answer: D) All of the above
Explanation: Consent granted by a user can be revoked by the user themselves, an Azure AD administrator, or the application owner through the Azure portal or using PowerShell cmdlets.
Answer: D) In review
Explanation: In the Azure AD admin consent workflow, the possible statuses are Pending approval, Approved, and Denied. “In review” is not a status used in the workflow.
Answer: B) False
Explanation: Microsoft Graph is the gateway to data and intelligence in Microsoft 365, providing access to a wide range of services, not limited to Office 365 applications and services.
Answer: D) Both A and C
Explanation: Azure AD allows the configuration to be set to “Yes” allowing user consent for apps or “Limited” to define a group of users who can consent or specify permissions for which user consent is allowed.
Answer: B) Registered app’s API permissions
Explanation: To view an app’s granted permissions, an admin should check the API permissions section in the settings of the registered application in Azure AD.
Answer: C) Azure AD publisher verification
Explanation: Azure AD publisher verification allows admins to restrict user consent to applications that are from verified publishers to ensure the authenticity of apps used within the organization.
Answer: B) False
Explanation: Azure AD does not support automatic approval of admin consent requests based on criteria. Each request requires manual review by an Azure AD administrator.
Answer: B) False
Explanation: Admins can manage consent approvals using the Azure portal, but they can also use PowerShell and other administrative tools to manage consent requests.
App registration permission consent is the process by which users grant applications permission to access their Azure Active Directory (AAD) resources.
Managing app registration permission consent is important for ensuring that only authorized applications have access to your organization’s sensitive data and resources.
You can manage app registration permission consent in AAD by selecting “Enterprise applications” in the Azure portal, selecting the application you want to manage, and then selecting “Permissions.”
You can grant consent for an application in AAD by clicking “Grant admin consent for [your organization]” or “Grant consent” and then reviewing the permissions the application is requesting and clicking “Accept.”
Managing app registration permission consent can improve security, better manage access to AAD resources, simplify compliance, and reduce the risk of data breaches.
Yes, users can revoke app registration permission consent in AAD at any time.
You can monitor application access to your organization’s resources in AAD using reporting and auditing tools.
Delegated consent is the process by which a user grants an application permission to access their AAD resources on their behalf.
Admin consent is the process by which an administrator grants an application permission to access AAD resources on behalf of all users in an organization.
You can customize app registration permission consent in AAD by configuring the user experience and enabling or disabling features such as pre-consent, dynamic consent, and conditional access.
