Update API Permissions

As an Azure application owner, you have the essential responsibility of maintaining the delegated and application permissions of your application. Through Resource Admin, you can initiate updates to these permissions, tailoring them to meet evolving requirements and security standards. Once an update is requested, EmpowerID efficiently processes and implements these changes by updating the API permissions in Azure. This article will lead you through the process of adjusting your application's permissions, ensuring they align accurately with your application's operational and security needs.
