Graph API - Insufficient privileges to complete the operation

Question

When trying to access the Graph Service Client using I am receiving the error :

Code: Authorization_RequestDenied
Message: Insufficient privile

Answer 1

In some cases the actual issue happens because we use "Application permissions" instead of "Delegated permissions". In my application, I have tried to list all the users with application permissions and it wasn't working. When I switched to a delegated permissions, it worked.

So, some quick check would be like this:

1. Check if you are using Microsoft Graph API or something else
2. Use Delegated permissions
3. Click Grant permissions button to propagate permissions :)

Hopefully, this would help someone.
