Azure Active Directory - how to assign application role to group programmatically

Question

I was trying to create an application which is a role based authorization using Azure AD. Below is my code:

ActiveDirectoryClient client = AuthenticationHelper.GetActiveDirectoryClient();

var app = (await client.Applications.GetByObjectId("applicationObjectId").ExecuteAsync());

var servicePrincipal = await client.ServicePrincipals.GetByObjectId("servicePrincipalObjectId").ExecuteAsync();

var appRole = app.AppRoles.First(r => r.DisplayName == "my role");

var mygroup = (await client.Groups.ExecuteAsync()).CurrentPage.FirstOrDefault();

Can anyone help me what am I missing?

Answer 1

Basically, you need to change your pseudo code like the below one:

ActiveDirectoryClient client = AuthenticationHelper.GetActiveDirectoryClient();

var app = (await client.Applications.GetByObjectId("applicationObjectId").ExecuteAsync());

var servicePrincipal = await client.ServicePrincipals.GetByObjectId("servicePrincipalObjectId").ExecuteAsync();

var appRole = app.AppRoles.First(r => r.DisplayName == "my role");

var mygroup = (Group)(await client.Groups.ExecuteAsync()).CurrentPage.FirstOrDefault();

I hope this will help.
