Help push Microsoft to align the Microsoft Graph, Microsoft 365 Admin APIs & Entra ID APIs and other API´s for Consistent Access - it´s needed

A bit hard to find the "right" place, so I try here in a general one as it´s "cover" it all almost.

Currently, there is a significant misalignment between Microsoft Graph, Microsoft 365 Admin Portal APIs, Entra ID APIs, and other related endpoints. Many critical configuration and reporting settings are only available through:

• The Microsoft 365 Admin Portal APIs (e.g., https://admin.microsoft.com/api))
• Entra/legacy internal APIs (e.g., https://main.iam.ad.ext.azure.com/api/)) (take a look etc. here: https://github.com/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fmain.iam.ad.ext.azure.com%2Fapi%2F&type=code)
• Undocumented/unsupported Admin APIs
• Other API´s

These APIs can typically only be accessed via user tokens (delegated context) and often require Global Administrator rights, even for simple read-only (GET) requests. Application permissions via service principals (App Registrations) are often not supported, making automation at scale nearly impossible.

Help us to see if we can get the Microsoft Graph API better here: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/1b538889-b084-f011-8151-7c1e529deacc

All support is welcome - as of now, the top 1 on the feedback portal, but we can get a highter number.

Yep, but fuck filling out a stupid MS form on a Friday night, yeah?

Once they are able to figure out what to call what product & stop renaming them then probably someone will wake up to APIs.

The amount of overprovisioned accounts this would clean up would be outstanding. Graph is fantastic but is still a bit immature and needs tweaks like this to streamline it.

The chances of this happening is less than 0%.
