Answer

Try decoding the access token via jwt.ms or similar tool and make sure the claims therein reflect the permissions. If using the Graph explorer tool, you can get the token via the Access token tab.

Answer

Hello kalimuthu,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Support!

First you need to make sure that the permissions granted are correct.

if you are using delegated permissions, you also need to grant the user the appropriate role, and use Auth code flow to get the token.

If application permissions are used, client credentials flow is required.
