Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Update the properties of a federatedIdentityCredential object.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

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)	Application.ReadWrite.All	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Application.ReadWrite.All	Not available.
Application	Application.ReadWrite.OwnedBy	Application.ReadWrite.All

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user 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.

A non-admin member user with default user permissions - for applications they own
Application Developer - for applications they own
Cloud Application Administrator
Application Administrator

HTTP request

You can address the application using either its id or appId. id and appId are referred to as the Object ID and Application (Client) ID, respectively, in app registrations in the Microsoft Entra admin center.

You can also address the federated identity credential with either its id or name.

PATCH /applications/{id}/federatedIdentityCredentials/{federatedIdentityCredentialId}

PATCH /applications/{id}/federatedIdentityCredentials/{federatedIdentityCredentialName}

PATCH /applications(appId='{appId}')/federatedIdentityCredentials/{federatedIdentityCredentialId}

PATCH /applications(appId='{appId}')/federatedIdentityCredentials/{federatedIdentityCredentialName}

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply only the values for properties that should be updated. Existing properties that are not included in the request body will maintain their previous values or be recalculated based on changes to other property values.

The following table specifies the properties that can be updated.

Property	Type	Description
audiences	String collection	The audience that can appear in the issued token. For Microsoft Entra ID, set its value to `api://AzureADTokenExchange`. This field can only accept a single value and has a limit of 600 characters.
claimsMatchingExpression	federatedIdentityExpression	Nullable. Defaults to `null` if not set. Enables the use of claims matching expressions against specified claims. If claimsMatchingExpression is defined, subject must be `null`. For the list of supported expression syntax and claims, visit the Flexible FIC reference.
description	String	A user-provided description of what the federatedIdentityCredential is used for. It has a limit of 600 characters.
issuer	String	The URL of the incoming trusted issuer (Secure Token Service). Matches the issuer claim of an access token. For example, with the Customer Managed Keys scenario, Microsoft Entra ID is the issuer and a valid value would be `https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenantid}/v2.0`. The combination of the values of issuer and subject must be unique on the app. It has a limit of 600 characters.
subject	String	Nullable. Defaults to `null` if not set. For Microsoft Entra issuer, the `objectId` of the servicePrincipal (can represent a managed identity) that can impersonate the app. The object associated with this GUID needs to exist in the tenant. For all other issuers, a string with no additional validation The combination of the values of issuer and subject must be unique on the app. If subject is defined, claimsMatchingExpression must be `null`. It has a limit of 600 characters.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 204 No Content response code.

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.
