Azure Functions Serverless

And in the screen provide name, select the Account type as Accounts in any identity provider or organizational directory (for authenticating users with user flows), configure the redirect URL as https://jwt.ms/ - it is because I will be getting the token from this website and using the token I am accessing the azure function, keep the check on Grant admin consent to openid and offline_access permissions option under permissions.
Block Azure B2C Users with Microsoft Graph and ASP.NET Core

Azure AspNetCore

We got a requirement like application administrators need an option to block the users from signing in to the application via Azure B2C. Here is the solution we found. Since we are storing the user’s object Id in the database along with some properties we are showing the list of users from the database. And we are calling the Graph API from our controller. To do this first we need to create an Azure B2C application. We need to note the ClientId and TenantId details.
