Operations on policy | Graph API reference

  • Статья

Applies to: Graph API | Azure Active Directory

Policies are custom rules that can be enforced on applications, service principals, groups, or the entire organization they are assigned to. There are currently only two types of policies available:

  • Token Lifetime Policy: specifies the lifetime duration of tokens issued for applications and service principals.
  • Token Issuance Policy: specifies characteristics of SAML tokens issued by Azure AD.

This article applies to Azure AD Graph API. For similar info related to Microsoft Graph API, see policy resource type.

Важно!

We strongly recommend that you use Microsoft Graph instead of Azure AD Graph API to access Azure Active Directory resources. Our development efforts are now concentrated on Microsoft Graph and no further enhancements are planned for Azure AD Graph API. There are a very limited number of scenarios for which Azure AD Graph API might still be appropriate; for more information, see the Microsoft Graph or the Azure AD Graph blog post in the Office Dev Center.

Performing REST operations on policy

To perform operations on organizational policy with the Graph API, you send HTTP requests with a supported method (GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, or DELETE) to an endpoint that targets the policies resource collection, a specific policy, a navigation property of a policy, or a function or action that can be called on a policy.

Graph API requests use the following basic URL:

https://graph.windows.net/{tenant_id}/{resource_path}?{api_version}[odata_query_parameters]

Важно!

Requests sent to the Graph API must be well-formed, target a valid endpoint and version of the Graph API, and carry a valid access token obtained from Azure AD in their Authorization header. For more detailed information about creating requests and receiving responses with the Graph API, see Operations Overview.

You specify the {resource_path} differently depending on whether you are targeting the collection of all policies in your tenant, an individual policy, or a navigation property of a specific policy.

  • /policies targets the policy resource collection. You can use this resource path to read all policy or a filtered list of policies in your tenant.
  • /policies/{object_id} targets an individual policy in your tenant. You specify the target policy with its object ID (GUID). You can use this resource path to get the declared properties of a policy. For policies that are not synced from an on-premises directory, you can use this resource path to modify the declared properties of a policy, or to delete a policy.
  • /policies/{object_id}/{nav_property} targets the specified navigation property of a policy. You can use it to return the object or objects referenced by the target navigation property of the specified policy. Note: This form of addressing is only available for reads.
  • /policies/{object_id}/$links/{nav_property} targets the specified navigation property of a policy. You can use this form of addressing to both read and modify a navigation property. On reads, the objects referenced by the property are returned as one or more links in the response body.

Get policy

Retrieve the properties of a policy.

On success, returns the details of the policy; otherwise, the response body contains error details. For more information about errors, see Error Codes and Error Handling.
