Summary

In this chapter, we’ve taken an in-depth look at the capabilities of the MDI API, focusing on the new healthIssue API, which is currently in beta. We discussed how this API can be used to identify and address potential issues with the MDI configuration, enhancing security operations.

Additionally, we explored the essential steps for setting up an app registration in Microsoft Entra ID. This setup is crucial for granting the API permissions that enable us to interact effectively with the MDI through the Microsoft Graph API. By obtaining these permissions, we pave the way for developing custom solutions tailored to support IT and security operations. These solutions can significantly streamline the management of the MDI environment, improving both efficiency and response capabilities. You also learned the difference between app registrations and enterprise applications.

We also delved into practical implementations, demonstrating how the Graph API can be used to...
