### Permanently Delete Azure Objects
If dynamic service principals are used, the option to permanently delete the applications and service principals created by Vault may be configured on the Vault role.
When this option is enabled and a lease is expired or revoked, the application and service principal associated with the lease will be [permanently deleted](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/directory-deleteditems-delete) from the Azure Active Directory.
As a result, these objects will not count toward the [quota](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/azure-subscription-service-limits#active-directory-limits) of total resources in an Azure tenant. When this option is not enabled

principal using the Azure portal:
The following Azure [role assignments](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/role-assignments-cli)

### Migrating From AAD To Microsoft Graph
In this example we will migrate the Azure secret engine from using Azure Active Directory
(AAD) to Microsoft Graph.
First, create a new service principal [with the proper permissions](/vault/docs/secrets/azure#authentication)
for managing Azure accounts. After granting the appropriate permissions, the following will be needed
from the service principal to configure the secret engine:
1. Application (client) ID
1. Directory (tenant) ID
1. Client Secret
1. Subscription ID
Finally, the Azure secret engine configuration can be updated with the new values:
```shell
TENANT_ID='<Directory (Tenant) ID Here>'
CLIENT_ID='Application (Client) ID Here>'
CLIENT_SECRET='<Client Secret Here>'
SUBSCRIPTION_ID='<Subcription ID Here>'
vault write azure/config \
subscription_id=$SUBSCRIPTION_ID \
client_id=$CLIENT_ID \
client_secret=$CLIENT_SECRET \
tenant_id=$TENANT_ID \
use_microsoft_graph_api=true
```
