Microsoft 365 FundamentalsDescribe Microsoft 365 pricing and supportHard
A Microsoft 365 administrator is evaluating a new third-party application that integrates with Microsoft 365. The vendor claims their application requires specific API permissions to access user data. To review and manage these permissions, where would the administrator navigate in the Microsoft 365 admin center or related portals?
- AMicrosoft 365 admin center > Billing > Products
- BAzure Active Directory admin center > Enterprise applications
- CMicrosoft 365 admin center > Users > Active users
- DMicrosoft 365 admin center > Settings > Org settings
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Azure Active Directory admin center > Enterprise applications
Third-party applications that integrate with Microsoft 365 typically register as 'Enterprise applications' in Azure Active Directory (now Microsoft Entra ID). The Azure Active Directory admin center is where administrators can review, grant, and manage the API permissions these applications request and have been granted.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. This section manages purchased subscriptions and products, not application security permissions.
- C. This section manages individual user accounts, not application permissions.
- D. Org settings contain various tenant-wide configurations, but not detailed application API permissions.
Azure AD Enterprise Applications Permissions
A feature within the Azure Active Directory (Microsoft Entra ID) admin center used to manage the permissions that third-party or custom applications have been granted to access data and resources within a Microsoft 365 tenant.
- Accessed via Azure AD admin center (Microsoft Entra admin center)
- Lists all applications registered in the tenant
- Allows review of granted API permissions (e.g., Microsoft Graph)
- Enables management of user consent and assignment to applications
- Crucial for security and data governance
Memory trick: For 'Enterprise' 'Apps' and their 'Permissions', go to 'Azure AD'.
