Grant it to an app

In the portal: App registrations › your app › API permissions › Add a permission › Microsoft Graph › Application permissions, then grant admin consent. Or with Graph PowerShell:

powershell5 lines
Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "Application.Read.All", "AppRoleAssignment.ReadWrite.All"
$graph = Get-MgServicePrincipal -Filter "appId eq '00000003-0000-0000-c000-000000000000'"
$app   = Get-MgServicePrincipal -Filter "appId eq '<your app's client id>'"
New-MgServicePrincipalAppRoleAssignment -ServicePrincipalId $app.Id `
    -PrincipalId $app.Id -ResourceId $graph.Id -AppRoleId "9c668bfa-7e4d-4ea4-9f0b-ba2d67cac55c"

Ask for it when signing in

Delegated permissions act as the signed-in user, so the app can never do more than that user can.
