Update Microsoft.Graph Modules on Azure Automation with Managed Identity

Andres Bohren
Hi All, The Microsoft.Graph Modules are updated very often. It annoyed me to update these Modules on my Azure Automation Account. I have now written a Azure Automation Runbook to automate the Update of the Microsoft.Graph Modules. It uses Managed Identity and updates the PowerShell 5.1 and 7.1 Modules. As mentioned the Azure Automation Account has a system assigned Service Principal That Service Principal needs Contributor Permissions on the Azure Automation Account

Document AzureAD Conditional Access Policies

Andres Bohren
Hi All, I had the "pleasure" again this week to Document the Azure AD Policies. Making several Screenshots in the Azure AD Portal seemed not the best way. MSGraph: List Conditional Access policies https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/conditionalaccessroot-list-policies?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http So tried to use the Microsoft Graph Explorer https://aka.ms/ge You need the Permission: Policy.Read.All https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/identity/conditionalAccess/policies While using the JSON could be one way. It's not very good if you have to Document it in a Word Document right.
