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.

Enable SMS sign-in for an existing mobile phone number. To be successfully enabled:

  • The phone must have "phoneType": "mobile".
  • The phone must be unique in the SMS sign-in system (no one else can also be using that number).
  • The user must be enabled for SMS sign-in in the authentication methods policy.

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) UserAuthMethod-Phone.ReadWrite UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite, UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite.All, UserAuthMethod-Phone.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account) Not supported. Not supported.
Application UserAuthMethod-Phone.ReadWrite.All UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite.All

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts where the signed-in user is acting on another user, they 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.

  • Authentication Administrator
  • Privileged Authentication Administrator

HTTP request

Enable SMS sign-in for your own mobile phone authentication method.

Note

Calling the /me endpoint requires a signed-in user and therefore a delegated permission. Application permissions aren't supported when using the /me endpoint.

POST /me/authentication/phoneMethods/{id}/enableSmsSignIn

Enable SMS sign-in for your own or another user's mobile phone authentication method.

Note

When calling the /users/{id} endpoint with {id} representing the signed-in user, the least privileged delegated permissions are UserAuthenticationMethod.Read for read operations and UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite for write operations.

POST /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/authentication/phoneMethods/{id}/enableSmsSignIn

The value of id for the mobile phoneType is 3179e48a-750b-4051-897c-87b9720928f7.
