Microsoft Graph API Tutorial: Creating Azure AD App, Access Token, and Calling APIs (App Permission)

Microsoft Graph is a comprehensive framework for building intelligent solutions across various Microsoft products and services, and it provides a single endpoint to access the data, intelligence, and insights from Microsoft 365 and Azure Active Directory.

Creating an Azure AD App

To get started with Microsoft Graph API, the first step is to create an Azure AD App in the Azure portal. This app will represent the identity of your application and grant permissions to access Microsoft Graph API resources.

Calling APIs (App Permission)

Once you have obtained the access token, you can use it to call various Microsoft Graph API endpoints. When making calls to the API, you will need to specify the app’s permissions in the request headers to ensure that the app has the necessary privileges to access the requested resources.

Granting permission, depends on your role . If you are just an user, your app permission will be granted by someone with higher privileage. Check documentation for more information. In this video, he has required privilage to grant himself the new permission and this wont be the case with everyone.
