Myapplications.microsoft.com and managing applications
Hi,
Yes, many organizations noticed this when Microsoft introduced the newer myapplications.microsoft.com experience.
What you are seeing was commonly related to a feature gap between the legacy MyApps portal and the newer My Applications portal during that period.
The older MyApps portal historically had better support for some delegated self-service application management scenarios, including:
- Managing users assigned to an enterprise application
• Inviting guest users (with proper Guest Inviter role)
• Delegated app access management through self-service settings
The newer myapplications.microsoft.com portal initially focused more on:
- Application launch experience
• Access panel modernization
• Grouped apps / collections
• Better end-user UX
Because of that, some admin-lite delegated management functions were either missing, delayed, or inconsistent.
The message:
“This app does not have any accounts.”
usually meant one of these:
- Assigned users were not exposed correctly in the new portal
• Delegated manager permissions were not yet fully supported there
• The application assignment model was not compatible with that page
• Backend sync lag between old and new experiences
What many tenants did at the time:
Continue using the legacy MyApps portal for delegated app management, while using the new portal mainly for launching apps.
Recommended checks:
- Confirm users are directly assigned to the Enterprise Application
• Confirm self-service app management is enabled
• Confirm delegated manager is configured
• Confirm guest inviter role is active
• Test with another browser / private session
Short answer:
Yes, others experienced this. At that time the newer portal did not yet have full parity with the legacy MyApps delegated management capabilities.
If you are asking in a current context (2026), many of these experiences have since evolved, but back in 2020 this was a common transition issue.
