- Attribute Definition Reader
- Attribute Assignment Administrator
- Attribute Definition Administrator
By default, Global Administrator and other administrator roles do not have permissions to read, define, or assign custom security attributes.
HTTP request
GET /directory/customSecurityAttributeDefinitions
Optional query parameters
This method supports the $select, $top, $expand, and $filter (eq) OData query parameters to help customize the response. For general information, see OData query parameters.
The allowedValues navigation property is not returned or expanded by default and must be specified in an $expand query. For example, /directory/customSecurityAttributeDefinitions?$expand=allowedValues.
Request body
