Create temporaryAccessPassMethod

Article

Namespace: microsoft.graph

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.

Create a new temporaryAccessPassAuthenticationMethod object on a user. A user can only have one Temporary Access Pass that's usable within its specified lifetime. If the user requires a new Temporary Access Pass while the current Temporary Access Pass is valid, the admin can create a new Temporary Access Pass for the user, the previous Temporary Access Pass will be deleted, and a new Temporary Access Pass will be created.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	❌	❌	✅

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.

Permissions acting on other users

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite.All	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite.All	Not available.

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts where the signed-in user is acting on another user, they must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation.

Authentication Administrator
Privileged Authentication Administrator

HTTP request

POST /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/authentication/temporaryAccessPassMethods

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of the temporaryAccessPassAuthenticationMethod object.

The following table describes optional properties that can be used when creating the temporaryAccessPassAuthenticationMethod.

Property	Type	Description
isUsableOnce	Boolean	Optional. Determines if the pass is limited to a one-time use. If `true`, the pass can be used once; if `false`, the pass can be used multiple times within its lifetimeInMinutes setting. A multi-use Temporary Access Pass (`isUsableOnce = false`), can only be created and used for sign-in if it is allowed by the Temporary Access Pass authentication method policy.
lifetimeInMinutes	Int32	Optional. The lifetime of the temporaryAccessPass in minutes starting at creation time or at startDateTime, if set. Must be between 10 and 43200 (equivalent to 30 days). If not specified, the defaultLifetimeInMinutes setting in the Temporary Access Pass authentication method policy is applied.
startDateTime	DateTimeOffset	Optional. The date and time when the temporaryAccessPass becomes available to use. If not specified, the Temporary Access Pass is available to use immediately after it's created.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and a temporaryAccessPassAuthenticationMethod object in the response body.

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
