Important
APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.
Permissions
Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.
Note
Permissions for personal Microsoft accounts cannot be used to deploy Microsoft Graph resources declared in Bicep files.
| Permission type | Least privileged permissions | Higher privileged permissions |

Property values
servicePrincipals
| Name | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| accountEnabled | true if the service principal account is enabled; otherwise, false. If set to false, then no users are able to sign in to this app, even if they're assigned to it | bool |
| addIns | Defines custom behavior that a consuming service can use to call an app in specific contexts. For example, applications that can render file streams may set the addIns property for its 'FileHandler' functionality. This lets services like Microsoft 365 call the application in the context of a document the user is working on. | MicrosoftGraphAddIn[] |
| alternativeNames | Used to retrieve service principals by subscription, identify resource group and full resource IDs for managed identities | string[] |
| apiVersion | The resource api version | 'beta' (ReadOnly) |
| appDescription | The description exposed by the associated application. | string |
| appDisplayName | The display name exposed by the associated application. | string |
