Need for manual querying of Graph API
automationActiveStableThe user is forced to manually query the Graph API instead of using the CLI, leading to increased workload and potential for errors.
Score Breakdown
Heuristic ranking from public discussion signals — not a validated prediction of commercial opportunity, demand, or willingness to pay.
Composite 62/100 (High, unvalidated). Top driver: Willingness to pay (30% weight, 19.5 pts).
Heuristic only — often urgency map or random scaffolding on ingest, not measured mention frequency. Maps to XPS relevance (with market size).
LLM/mock judgment of intensity from title/summary text — not ops or ticket data. Maps to XPS quality (with willingness to pay).
LLM/mock purchase-intent guess from text — not invoices, surveys, or paid seats. Maps to XPS quality.
Heuristic/scaffold (often random or fixed on insert) — not a verified mention trajectory. Maps to XPS novelty.
Heuristic/scaffold (often random or fixed) — not TAM research. Maps to XPS relevance (with frequency).
Catalog notes (not predictive analysis)
Need for manual querying of Graph API (automation). Catalog heuristic opportunity score: 62/100 — a chosen formula over discussion-signal facets, not evidence of demand, conversion, or willingness to pay. Treat as browsing rank, not a commercial prediction.

“Access app role assignments for service principals **Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** When interacting with Azure Active Directory, creating app registrations, creating service principals and granting consent for both role- and delegated permissions, there is an unpredictable delay between when the API accepts a resource changing request and when the change is actually visible by querying the API. Because of this we have to continuously query the API and wait for changes to become effective and it seems we can do so for everything but app role assignments. **Describe the solution you'd like** Make it possible to query for app-role-assignments under service principals, as it is possible to do using the Graph on _https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/servicePrincipals/{id}/appRoleAssignedTo_ **Describe alternatives you've considered** I will have to manually query Graph instead of using the CLI **Additional context** Link to the Graph docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/approleassignment-get”
