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)
LicenseAssignment.ReadWrite.All
Directory.ReadWrite.All, Group.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)
Not supported.
Not supported.
Application
LicenseAssignment.ReadWrite.All
Directory.ReadWrite.All, Group.ReadWrite.All
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 the microsoft.directory/groups/assignLicense role permission. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation:
A collection of assignedLicense objects that specify the licenses to add. You can disable servicePlans associated with a license by setting the disabledPlans property on an assignedLicense object.
removeLicenses
Guid collection
A collection of skuIds that identify the licenses to remove. Required. Can be an empty collection.
Response
If successful, this method returns a 202 Accepted response code and a target group object in the response body.
