The microsoft.directory/users/password/update permission allows a principal to perform password resets for any user but does not grant rights to delete users or update other user properties. Therefore, including only this permission in the custom Microsoft Entra role lets Helpdesk staff reset passwords while preventing broader user management capabilities. The other listed permissions either allow additional user changes, such as creating or deleting users, or are unrelated to user password management.
