Azure Active Directory Object Permissions

I have an Azure Active Directory Application (and associated Service Principal). That Service Principal needs to be able to add and remove members from an Azure Active Directory Group...so I have added Read and write directory data under Application Permissions:

enter image description here

And I have code that uses the Client ID and Client Secret to get an Authentication Token an perform these operations using the Azure Graph API.

However, this permission is far too broad. I need the Application/Service Principal to only have the ability to add and remove members from specific groups (not all)...and not the ability to perform other types of operations.

Is there a way to do this?

Thank you.

There is a preview feature that partly fits your requirement: "Group.ReadWrite.All". It lets your principal create and update groups and their navigation properties (incl. members). It does not however reduce the permissions to modify only certain groups.

AAD permission scopes are described here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/Library/Azure/Ad/Graph/howto/azure-ad-graph-api-permission-scopes

Preview features may be subject to change and you'll have to agree to reduced service terms etc.: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/preview/
