Get an Azure Active Directory token as a user
I want to be able getting access token while I act as a user (meaning I only have username and password). In all the relevant topics I only see that they try getting the token as administrator of the application (for example, in order to know the clientId), but can I do the same while acting as the user of the application?
As suggested by @Thomas, you can make use of ROPC flow.
In order to get access token as a user, you still need to know values of client_id and tenant_id along with your UPN and password.
Client_Id - Your Application ID
Tenant_Id - Your Directory ID
You can get these values from the person who registered the application by: Go to Azure Portal -> Azure Active Directory -> Your Application -> Overview
After getting those values, make use of Postman to generate the access token.
For that, POST an HTTP request like below that need tenant_id and parameters like below:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/your_tenant_id/oauth2/v2.0/token
In Postman, Go to Authorization tab and select type as
Oauth2.0Visit Headers tab and include
Content-Typekey with value as application/x-www-form-urlencodedIn Body tab, include parameters like client_id, grant_type, username, password and scope as below:
Make sure to grant admin consent to required API permissions defined in scope before sending the request.
Now, send the request and you can get the access token successfully like below:
