Assign enterprise application owners

As an owner of an enterprise application in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), a user can manage the organization-specific configuration of it, such as single sign-on, provisioning, and user assignments. An owner can also add or remove other owners. Unlike Global Administrators, owners can manage only the enterprise applications they own. In this article, you learn how to assign an owner of an application.

Assign an owner

To assign an owner to an enterprise application:

  1. Sign in to your Azure AD organization with an account that is eligible for the Application Administrator role or the Cloud Application Administrator role for the organization.
  2. Select Enterprise applications, and then select the application that you want to add an owner to.
  3. Select Owners, and then select Add to get a list of user accounts that you can choose an owner from.
  4. Search for and select the user account that you want to be an owner of the application.
  5. Click Select to add the user account that you chose as an owner of the application.

Note

If the user setting Restrict access to Azure AD administration portal is set to Yes, non-admin users will not be able to use the Azure portal to manage the applications they own. For more information about the actions that can be performed on owned enterprise applications, see Owned enterprise applications.
