I find the Entra admin center completely unintuitive when it comes to assigning custom roles to my own enterprise applications, so this post is a reminder to myself as to how to create and assign the roles.
Add Custom Roles
- In the admin center, go to the Applications…App registrations menu item
- Select your application, and click the App roles menu item
- You can create your custom application roles, per the screenshot below
Assigning App Roles
You can assign one role to multiple users/groups at a time:
- In the admin center, go to the Applications…Enterprise applications menu item
- Search for your application and click on it
- Click Users and groups
- Click Add user/group
- You can now select multiple users and/or groups, and a single role, and then click Assign
You should now be able to see your role assignments in the Users and groups page
