Part 2: App registration and Graph API permissions This part of the series is around laying the base for your custom connector that we are going to build later on. Before we can do that, we need to create an app registration in Azure Active Directory. This app registration will hold the permissions and the secret. Before creating an app registration, let’s focus on the permissions. How do we know what permission we need? The quickest way to find that… 

Part 3: Graph API and Graph Explorer If you are new to Graph API, Graph Explorer is a great tool to learn the first steps into the Microsoft Graph. Next to that, it will also help you to shape your custom connector in the next part. Before diving into that, we’ll need to understand how Graph API works, and how Graph Explorer can help you with that. First, let’s bookmark the Graph Explorer for future use. Graph Explorer comes with… 

Part 4: Build a custom connector based on the Graph API Now that we know the basics, as discussed in previous parts, it’s time to build the custom connector. This custom connector is going to use the Graph API. Before we start building, make sure you have these things at hand: The appliation ID and secret of the app registration (part 2) The Graph Explorer, and the sample queries (part 3) A test user in Azure Active Directory A license… 

Part 5: Create an app in PowerApps using a custom connector This is the part where everything comes together. In this final part of the series, we are going to build a PowerApp based on the custom connector that we created. There is some stuff that you have to figure out on your own, like how to edit text on a button, or how to change color, icon type, and borders for example. Most of the stuff is just drag-and-drop.… 

(Bonus) Part 6: Integrate with Power Automate This is the last part of this series where we are going to add one more feature to our PowerApp. The app is already capable of creating, listing, and deleting a Temporary Access Pass for a user. In this episode, we create a button that will send the Temporary Access Pass to the mobile phone number of the user. In the previous parts, we used a custom connector straight from the PowerApp, but… 

I’ve done quite some Azure MFA implementations over the past few years, and none of them were the same. But one thing that was often the same is the way Azure MFA (or SSPR) was implemented: in two steps. First, you want to get your users enrolled ASAP. Once everybody (or at least the vast majority) is enrolled, you can enforce Azure MFA, so that your identities are better protected against phishing. It is pretty straightforward. Registration methods There are…
