Article
10/18/2024

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Create a new authenticationContextClassReference.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

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)	AuthenticationContext.ReadWrite.All	Policy.ReadWrite.ConditionalAccess
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	AuthenticationContext.ReadWrite.All	Policy.ReadWrite.ConditionalAccess

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts where the signed-in user is acting on another user, they must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation.

Security Administrator
Conditional Access Administrator

Note

This method has a known permissions issue and may require consent to multiple permissions.

HTTP request

POST /identity/conditionalAccess/authenticationContextClassReferences

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

You can specify the following properties when creating an authenticationContextClassReference.

Property	Type	Description
id	String	Identifier used to reference the authentication context class. The id is used to trigger step-up authentication for the referenced authentication requirements and is the value that will be issued in the `acrs` claim of an access token. This value in the claim is used to verify that the required authentication context has been satisfied. The allowed values are `c1` through `c25`. Required.
displayName	String	A friendly name that identifies the authenticationContextClassReference object when building user-facing admin experiences. For example, a selection UX. Optional.
description	String	A short explanation of the policies that are enforced by authenticationContextClassReference. This value should be used to provide secondary text to describe the authentication context class reference when building user-facing admin experiences. For example, a selection UX. Optional.
isAvailable	Boolean	Indicates whether the authenticationContextClassReference has been published by the security admin and is ready for use by apps. When it's set to `false`, it shouldn't be shown in admin UX experiences because the value isn't currently available for selection. Optional.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and a new authenticationContextClassReference object in the response body.

Examples

The following example shows creating a new authenticationcontextclassreference that is available for apps to use.

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
