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.
| Permission type |
Least privileged permissions |
Higher privileged permissions |
| Delegated (work or school account) |

Important
In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. Attribute Definition Administrator is the only privileged role supported for this operation.
By default, Global Administrator and other administrator roles don't have permissions to read, define, or assign custom security attributes.
