Description

Can manage network locations and review enterprise network design insights for Microsoft 365 Software as a Service applications.

Details

Users with this role can review network perimeter architecture recommendations from Microsoft that are based on network telemetry from their user locations. Network performance for Office 365 relies on careful enterprise customer network perimeter architecture which is generally user location specific. This role allows for editing of discovered user locations and configuration of network parameters for those locations to facilitate improved telemetry measurements and design recommendations.

Graph API Permissions2

Microsoft do not provide a direct mapping between Directory actions and Graph API permissions, despite this being necessary for delegated (interactive) access. MSAdminRoles.com has meticulously compiled a list of the Graph API permissions that each built-in admin role enables you to utilise. Please note this listing is not 100% accurate. Graph API permissions and Entra RBAC operate as two independent authorisation planes and do not map to each other on a one-to-one basis.
