Update governanceRoleAssignmentRequests (deprecated)

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.

Caution

This version of the Privileged Identity Management (PIM) API for Azure resources is deprecated and will stop returning data on October 28, 2026. Use the new Azure REST PIM API for Azure resource roles.

Enable administrators to update their decisions (AdminApproved or AdminDenied) on governanceRoleAssignmentRequests that are in status of PendingAdminDecision.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
