External Identity Provider Administrator - be2f45a1-457d-42af-a067-6ec1fa63bc45
Entra Id Role definition

Display name External Identity Provider Administrator
Id be2f45a1-457d-42af-a067-6ec1fa63bc45
Description Can configure identity providers for use in direct federation.
Detailed description This administrator manages federation between Microsoft Entra tenants and external identity providers. With this role, users can add new identity providers and configure all available settings (e.g. authentication path, service id, assigned key containers). This user can enable the tenant to trust authentications from external identity providers. The resulting impact on end user experiences depends on the type of tenant: (1) Microsoft Entra tenants for employees and partners: The addition of a federation (e.g. with Gmail) will immediately impact all guest invitations not yet redeemed. (2) Azure Active Directory B2C tenants: The addition of a federation (e.g. with Facebook, or with another Microsoft Entra tenant) does not immediately impact end user flows until the identity provider is added as an option in a user flow (aka built-in policy). To change user flows, the limited role of "External ID user flow administrator" is required.
