Is there any chance to extract specific permissions from few roles and create a new role with them

I want to create custom Azure role by extracting few properties from couple of roles like User Administrator and Application Administrator.

I saw few blogs and articles on creating custom RBAC role but my need is for Directory roles.

Permissions needed

microsoft.directory/users/*
microsoft.directory/groups/*
microsoft.directory/applications/*
microsoft.directory/serviceprincipals/*

How to create custom directory role in my case?

Any inputs are needed

Thanks

To create custom role in Azure AD, you need to have either Azure AD Premium P1 or P2 license along with Global Admin or Privileged Admin roles.

I tried to reproduce the same in my environment and got below results:

I have Azure AD Premium P2 license for my Azure AD tenant like below:

enter image description here

To create custom role in Azure AD, you need to follow below steps:

Go to Azure Portal -> Azure Active Directory -> Roles and administrators -> All roles -> New custom role

enter image description here

In Basics tab, enter custom role name and select Start from scratch option -> Next:

enter image description here

In Permissions tab, you can select the permissions based on your requirement in the list like below:

enter image description here

After selecting all required permissions, you can click on Create in Review + Create tab like below:

enter image description here

After that, custom role created successfully in Azure AD like below:

enter image description here

You can assign that custom role to Azure AD users like below:

Go to Azure Active Directory -> Roles and administrators -> All roles -> Click on your custom role -> Add assignments

enter image description here

I assigned that custom role to one Azure AD user like below:

enter image description here

You can select the type based on your need and assign role accordingly like below:

enter image description here

After few minutes, it assigned to the user successfully like below:

enter image description here

Note that, you cannot find New custom role option if your tenant doesn't have required license.

I have another tenant with Azure AD Free license like below:

enter image description here

When I tried to create custom role, New custom role option is greyed out like below:

enter image description here

So, make sure to have required licenses and roles before creating Azure AD custom roles.
