Least-privilege permissions
Minimize Graph permissions to what you truly need. This reduces security risk and simplifies approval.
Requesting fewer permissions reduces friction with tenant admins and lowers risk if tokens are misused.
Start minimal, then expand only when a clear feature requires it.
Key points
- Request only required scopes
- Prefer delegated for interactive admin flows
- Review permissions periodically
