PIM for Azure AD Roles provides Just in Time (JIT) capability for Azure AD Roles. See more at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-privileged-identity-management-getting-started 

How cool would it be if I can use the MSGraph PIM api’s to build custom applications. For example, you have multiple roles where you want to activate every day. It would be time consuming to activate them one by one. Instead, you can build a custom app using PowerShell or UI so that you can activate to all of these roles in one shot.

In this blog, I will share a sample to list all your eligible roles and activate or deactivate them. You will also be able to assign someone to a role.

I will share the full source code so you can customize it to suit your needs. Just save this as a .ps1 file and run it with PowerShell.

Note: There is a limitation with MSGraph PIM api's that it wont work if your role requires MFA which should be fixed soon.

Setup

• Create a native AAD application. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/active-directory-integrating-applications
• Grant it the following permissions to the application.
  • Read and write privileged access to Azure AD - You will need it if you are going to use the app for PIM for Azure AD Roles
  • Read and write privileged access to Azure resources - You will need it if you are going to use the app for PIM for Azure Resources
  • Read directory data - You will need it if you are going to read users, etc. from directory like the assignment example in the below source code
  • Note than these permissions require Admin consent so you will have to contact the tenant admin to grant these permissions. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/application-dev-registration-config-grant-permissions-how-to 
• In the below code, update $clientID with your application id and $redirectUri with the redirect uri of the application.
