azure-graphrbac
Microsoft Azure Graph RBAC Client Library for Python
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. The package is deprecated as of 10-31-2024 and will receive no further maintenance beyond security fixes. New projects should use the MS Graph SDK for Python instead. Only consider installing if you are maintaining existing code that already depends on it and cannot migrate immediately.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Azure Active Directory tenant credentials and tenant ID; deprecated as of 10-31-2024 with no future maintenance planned.
- Low install friction with four stable Azure SDK dependencies.
- However, the package entered inactive status on 10-31-2024 and will no longer be maintained; only security fixes are provided until that date has passed.

What it is and what it does
Azure-graphrbac is a Python client library for managing Azure Active Directory resources through the Microsoft Graph RBAC API. It provides object models and operations for working with users, groups, applications, service principals, and other directory objects in Azure AD.
The package is built on msrest and msrestazure for HTTP communication and Azure authentication. However, it has been deprecated and will no longer receive feature updates or maintenance after 10-31-2024; only security fixes are provided until that date. Microsoft recommends migrating to the MS Graph SDK for Python instead.
Use it for
- Programmatically list and query Azure AD users, groups, and applications in an existing codebase that predates the MS Graph SDK
- Manage application registrations and service principals in Azure AD via Python automation scripts
- Restore deleted applications or manage group ownership within a legacy Azure management workflow
- Perform directory object lookups and membership checks in older Azure-integrated systems
