Microsoft Office Azure AD Graph Migration: Is Administrator Action Required?
Question details
Administrators need to know if manual intervention is required to migrate the Microsoft Office application from retiring Azure AD Graph APIs to Microsoft Graph.
- Product
- Microsoft Office
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- IT administrators are reviewing application dependencies following Microsoft's advisory to migrate from retiring Azure AD Graph APIs to Microsoft Graph.
- Observed behavior
- Microsoft Office (Application ID d3590ed6-52b3-4102-aeff-aad2292ab01c) is still flagged as using the legacy Azure AD Graph API, prompting confusion over required migration steps.
Verify the application ID in your Microsoft Entra ID admin center to confirm it matches the Microsoft Office application (d3590ed6-52b3-4102-aeff-aad2292ab01c).
Monitor for Updates and Rely on Microsoft Extended Access
No immediate administrator action is required for this specific Microsoft Office application, as Microsoft is actively developing a replacement and granting extended access.
Microsoft has confirmed that certain first-party applications, including Microsoft Office, Microsoft Visual Studio Legacy, and Microsoft Intune, currently do not have an update available that removes their dependency on Azure AD Graph.
To prevent service disruptions, Microsoft is automatically granting extended access to these affected applications while they build the necessary replacement versions for Microsoft Graph.
Log into the Microsoft Entra admin center and navigate to 'App registrations' to locate the Microsoft Office application with ID d3590ed6-52b3-4102-aeff-aad2292ab01c.
Check the API permissions tab to verify its current usage of Azure AD Graph, but do not attempt to manually delete or modify these permissions.
Leave the application configuration as-is. Attempting to force a manual migration for this specific first-party application may disrupt Microsoft Office services for your users.
Regularly check the Microsoft Entra and Azure AD Graph retirement official updates page for new guidance on when the Microsoft Graph replacement becomes available.
