Managing Applications Using Graph PowerShell

In every Microsoft 365 environment, applications play a critical role in enabling integrations, automations, and secure access to resources—whether they're built in-house, registered for third-party use, or part of Microsoft’s own ecosystem.

For IT administrators, understanding how to manage these applications is key to maintaining a secure, scalable, and well-governed tenant. With Microsoft Graph PowerShell, you can automate the entire application lifecycle—creation, ownership, deletion, and reporting—with precision and ease.


What are Applications in Microsoft 365?

Applications in Microsoft 365 are Azure AD-registered apps that allow programs, services, or scripts to interact securely with Microsoft 365 services. These could be:

  • Internal line-of-business apps
  • Microsoft-provided apps like Teams or Outlook
  • Third-party apps (e.g., Trello, Salesforce)
  • Custom integrations using Graph API or service principals

Each app has a unique identity and can be assigned permissions, roles, and owners—just like users.


Why Use Applications in Microsoft 365?

Applications are vital for:

  • 🔄 Integrating workflows and tools with Microsoft 365
  • 🔐 Secure access control through app-based permissions
  • 🚀 Building automation using Graph API, Power Apps, or custom solutions
  • 🤝 Enabling third-party SaaS connections securely and at scale
  • ⏱️ Save time on repetitive tasks and reduce human errors

By managing app registrations properly, admins can ensure the right access is given—and misconfigured or unused apps don’t become a security liability.


Why Automate Application Lifecycle Management in Microsoft 365?

Without automation, managing application sprawl becomes tedious and risky. With Graph PowerShell, you can:

  • 🧹 Clean up unused apps
  • 📈 Report app usage and ownership
  • 🔁 Standardize app creation with consistent permissions
  • 📋 Monitor and audit application owners
  • 🔒 Improve tenant-wide security posture

Automation helps you stay proactive—not reactive—in managing your M365 environment.

Final Thoughts

Applications are the backbone of modern productivity and automation in Microsoft 365—but without proper management, they can become a security risk or administrative burden.

With Graph PowerShell and the powerful scripts from M365Corner, you can take full control of the application lifecycle—from registration to ownership and cleanup—while saving time and ensuring compliance.
