Important

Features in preview status are subject to change without notice, and might not be promoted to generally available (GA) status. Don't use preview features in production apps.

November 2025: New and generally available

Backup storage

The driveItem: restore method was expanded to enable restoring a driveItem deleted from a fileStorageContainer without mapping it to a recycleBinItem. This complements existing functionality in recycleBinItem: restore which continues to work as expected.

November 2025: New in preview only

Tasks and plans

  • Get the usage rights for a specific plan based on its sensitivity label assignment and the requesting user's permissions.

Identity and access | Directory management

  • Addressed a permissions issue for internalDomainFederation write operations. Previously, delegated scenarios required the high-privilege Directory.AccessAsUser.All permission. Two new, lesser-privileged permissions are now available for managing the internalDomainFederation resource:

    • Domain-InternalFederation.Read.All – Read internalDomainFederation resources.
    • Domain-InternalFederation.ReadWrite.All – Read and write internalDomainFederation resources.
  • Added the Domain-InternalFederation.ReadWrite.All delegated and application permissions as lower-privilege alternatives for updating a domain. This also enables updating the authenticationType property of a domain in both delegated and application contexts, whereas previously only delegated scenarios with Directory.AccessAsUser.All permission were supported.

These new permissions enable more granular access control for managing internalDomainFederation and domain resources.

Identity and access | Identity and sign-in

Microsoft Graph now supports new delegated and application permissions scoped to individual authentication methods supported by Microsoft Entra. These permissions provide lesser-privileged alternatives to the more widely scoped UserAuthenticationMethod.Read, UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite.All, UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite and UserAuthenticationMethod.Read.All permissions, helping you improve your organization's security posture by adopting least privilege practices.
