Permissions
One of the following permissions is required to call this API. To learn more, including how to choose permissions, see Permissions.
Permissions acting on self
Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.
Permission type | Least privileged permissions | Higher privileged permissions |
---|---|---|
Delegated (work or school account) | UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite.All | UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite |
Delegated (personal Microsoft account) | Not supported. | Not supported. |
Application | UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite.All | Not available. |
Important
In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts where the signed-in user is acting on another user, they must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation.
- Global Reader
- Authentication Administrator
- Privileged Authentication Administrator
HTTP request
The ID of the email authentication method, referenced by {emailMethods-id}
, is always 3ddfcfc8-9383-446f-83cc-3ab9be4be18f
.
Delete the email method from your own account. For a signed-in user to update their own authentication method, they must have satisfied a multi-factor authentication requirement during sign in.
Note
Calling the /me
endpoint requires a signed-in user and therefore a delegated permission. Application permissions aren't supported when using the /me
endpoint.
DELETE /me/authentication/emailMethods/{emailMethods-id}
Delete the email authentication method from another user's account.
Note
When calling the /users/{id}
endpoint with {id}
representing the signed-in user, the least privileged delegated permissions are UserAuthenticationMethod.Read for read operations and UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite for write operations.
DELETE /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/authentication/emailMethods/{emailMethods-id}
