| Administrator roles, including Microsoft Entra administrator roles, are one of the most sensitive resources in a tenant. You can manage the lifecycle of their assignment in the tenant, including creating custom roles, assigning roles, tracking changes to role assignments, and removing assignees from roles | [directoryRole resource type](directoryrole.md) and [directoryRoleTemplate resource type](directoryroletemplate.md) and their associated APIs <br/><br/> [roleManagement resource type](rolemanagement.md) and its associated APIs (**recommended**)<br/><br/> These APIs allow you to make direct role assignments. Alternatively, you can use Privileged Identity Management APIs for [Microsoft Entra roles](privilegedidentitymanagementv3-overview.md) and [groups](privilegedidentitymanagement-for-groups-api-overview.md) to make just-in-time and time-bound role assignments, instead of direct forever active assignments. |
