I need to trigger a flow on Azure PIM

I cannot find a trigger for this in Power Automate.

I am a Premium user.

I'm told a suitable trigger exists, yet i cannot find one

Is there any reason why I cannot find a trigger

Hi,

Have you tried MS Graph? Seems to be doable.

Automating Azure Privileged Identity Management (PIM) tasks using Power Automate can be achieved through the Microsoft Graph API, as there isn't a direct trigger available in Power Automate for Azure PIM events. By leveraging the Microsoft Graph API, you can monitor and manage PIM activities programmatically.

Steps to Set Up Automation:

Set Up Microsoft Graph API Integration:

Register an Application in Azure AD:

Navigate to the Azure Portal and register a new application.

Configure the necessary API permissions for PIM operations, such as RoleManagement.ReadWrite.Directory.

Authenticate:

Use OAuth 2.0 to authenticate and obtain access tokens for API calls.

Create a Power Automate Flow:

Trigger:

Since there's no direct PIM trigger, you can schedule the flow to run at specific intervals or trigger it based on related events.

Actions:

HTTP Action:

Use the HTTP action to make requests to the Microsoft Graph API.

For example, to retrieve pending role assignment requests:

Method: GET

URL: https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/roleManagement/directory/roleAssignmentScheduleRequests?$filter=status eq 'PendingApproval'

To approve a request:

Method: PATCH

URL: https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/roleManagement/directory/roleAssignmentApprovals/{approvalId}/steps/{stepId}

Headers: Content-Type: application/json

Body:
{ "reviewResult": "Approve", "justification": "Approved via automated flow" }

Ensure you replace {approvalId} and {stepId} with actual IDs from the pending requests.

Thank you for responding.

I'm told there are some Microsoft Entra ID triggers - is this correct? if so, is there a reasons (permissions or otherwise) that I cannot see them?

Thanks

Understood. To clarify, these are actions not triggers so if you are searching for them as a trigger, correct they will not appear. Tom
