README

function-msgraph

A Crossplane composition function for querying the Microsoft Graph API.

Overview

The function-msgraph provides read-only access to Microsoft Graph API endpoints, allowing Crossplane compositions to:

1. Validate Azure AD User Existence
2. Get Group Membership
3. Get Group Object IDs
4. Get Service Principal Details

The function supports throttling mitigation with the skipQueryWhenTargetHasData flag to avoid unnecessary API calls.

Usage

Add the function to your Crossplane installation:

apiVersion: pkg.crossplane.io/v1beta1
kind: Function
metadata:
  name: function-msgraph
spec:
  package: xpkg.upbound.io/upbound/function-msgraph:v0.1.0

Azure Credentials

The service principal needs the following Microsoft Graph API permissions:

• User.Read.All (for user validation)
• Group.Read.All (for group operations)
• Application.Read.All (for service principal details)

Client Secret Credentials

Create an Azure service principal with appropriate permissions to access Microsoft Graph API:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: azure-account-creds
  namespace: crossplane-system
type: Opaque
stringData:
  credentials: |
    {
      "clientId": "your-client-id",
      "clientSecret": "your-client-secret", 
      "subscriptionId": "your-subscription-id",
      "tenantId": "your-tenant-id"
    }

Workload Identity Credentials

AKS cluster needs to have workload identity enabled. The managed identity needs to have the Federated Identity Credential created: https://azure.github.io/azure-workload-identity/docs/topics/federated-identity-credential.html.

Credentials secret:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: azure-account-creds
  namespace: crossplane-system
type: Opaque
stringData:
  credentials: |
    {
      "clientId": "your-client-id", # optional
      "tenantId": "your-tenant-id", # optional
      "federatedTokenFile": "/var/run/secrets/azure/tokens/azure-identity-token"
    }

Result Targets

Results can be stored in either XR Status or Composition Context:

# Store in XR Status
target: "status.results"

# Store in nested XR Status
target: "status.nested.field.results"

# Store in Composition Context
target: "context.results"

# Store in Environment
target: "context.[apiextensions.crossplane.io/environment].results"

Using Reference Fields

You can reference values from XR spec, status, or context instead of hardcoding them:
