Blog: Leverage Custom Permissions in Entra ID Applications
In my last post, Securing an Azure Function App with Entra ID - Works with SharePoint Framework!, I showed how you can secure a REST API deployed as an Azure Function App using Microsoft Entra ID. This comes in quite handy when you want to secure some custom server-side business logic that’’s called from a SharePoint Framework (SPFx) client-side solution. The SPFx docs show how to use APIs with permissions to the Microsoft Graph. This post will explain how to add custom permissions to the AzureAD application that is used to secure your Azure Function.- Published on

When I was working on this chapter, it felt like the process of configuring an Azure Function App to be secured with Entra ID was harder and more complex than it should have been. Specifically, some of the things you do aren’t explained as well… so I decided to blog about it here!- Published on
