I have a specific SharePoint site that I have been asked to integrate my web based application with in a read-only fashion using my backend server.
I currently have an app with Default Directory only (Single tenant) access
which I am modifying Application API permissions to also require Sites.Selected, however this one is requiring that I obtain Admin consent
I have had an absolute atrocious time trying to figure out how to obtain access to my specific site and not grant access to every single site in my tenant
I'm working on a dummy azure account prior to asking my ops team for the real permissions from the real ecosystem, but I dont have a sharepoint site to test on because I dont know how to set it up, the IT department team who manages it is very slow to answer so its difficult to move the ball forward without knowing exactly what I need before asking.
Under "Enterprise Applications" > {My Application Name } > Permissions (left sidebar), i see a big blue button that I read about in some docs, but i'm scared to grant the permissions because it says I give my app access to the default directory which I don't want to do, and it provides nowhere for me to specify my "selected" site
does anyone have more information on how I can grant a specific site to my app?
every article I run to talks about admin confirmation but neglects to tell me specifically how it's done
Default Directory is just a default name for your tenant, and not related to any default collection of sites. See my tenant name v6pz1 in the image
For this Sites.Selected permission, it's a 2-step process for giving your app access to the sites.
The app needs to be given permission to the site at the SharePoint level
The app needs to be granted admin consent to access the sites through the Graph API
You see this described in the MS Graph permissions reference table as well.
Allow the application to access a subset of site collections without a signed in user. The specific site collections and the permissions granted will be configured in SharePoint Online.
To actually grant your app the SharePoint permission to a site, you can use the MS Graph endpoint to create permissions

We have created a Microsoft Teams tab app with bot integration that we want to distribute to various organizations either manually or via an App Store. In summary,
We created Tabs App with Microsoft Bot using node.js botbuilder package.
We provided zip archive to another organization (another tenant Id).
Organization uploaded our app using Microsoft Teams Admin panel and approved permission in Permission tabs.
Question is how can we receive the tenant id from the organization we are deploying to without asking their admins to go to Azure Active Directory and look it up. Once provided, the graph api and the multi tenant bot does work fine. We are trying to avoid asking their admin to provide us the tenant id and want to retrieve it automatically upon the app being uploaded or on startup.
Thank you.
The best place to get the tenant id is from the access token you are provided by logging in to your app. Look for the 'tid' value.
I'm assuming you are talking about stream lining the company wide admin consent for your application.
What you can do is have a web site that a customer's admin can log into (using standard Microsoft OAuth interactive flow). You can then pull the Tenant ID from the access token and then run through the Microsoft consent process. Once consent process redirected back to your web site, you can do your own customer onboarding if required.
I am developing an app in Microsoft Teams using the App Studio. Towards the end of the proccess, in the section Domains and Permissions, you are allowed to give resource-specific consent permissions such as File.Read.Group. I was wondering where I would use these permissions (Microsoft Graph, Azure AD Graph, ...) to programmatically access an API. As a side question, does anybody know which permission allows the app to manage group members?
Thank you!
Here is a good read on that permissions settings page, those consent permissions are not actually a part of azure ad app registrations as of this articles writing. so that means while they are sort of graph permissions, you would use them against the graph api. They are for specific teams based resource specific permissions.

the official documentation on the matter: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/graph-api/rsc/resource-specific-consent
as per the microsoft link i don't see a resource specific permission to "edit" groups members.
I have an external program that I have scheduled to run once a day (i.e. no user interaction). This program should upload a file to a SharePoint Online site, using Microsoft Graph API. I'm able to enable this in Azure Active Directory by registering an app, and giving this app the application permission File.ReadWrite.All, then sending a PUT request to
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive-id}/items/{parent-id}:/{filename}:/content
However, by granting File.ReadWrite.All, the program will have access to all files in all site collections for my organization. I want to limit access to a specific site, or perhaps just a specific folder within that site. How can this be achieved? (without the need for a user to interactively sign in when the program is run)
Edit (2021-03-04): This is possible now: https://developer.microsoft.com/office/blogs/controlling-app-access-on-specific-sharepoint-site-collections/
It is not currently possible to restrict app-only access to a specific SharePoint site, through Microsoft Graph.
I'm developing an application on Microsoft Graph that runs as a daemon, and needs access to many accounts. As a result, I'm using a service account, also known as client credentials (using this method).
I can request the proper scope (calendars.readwrite) however as far as I can see, I cannot restrict to which calendars I have access. In my case, I only need access to the meetingroom calendars, and I'm afraid that organisations will not allow my application if I can also read and write from/to the CEO's calendar.
Is there any way (either while creating the app, or during/after giving admin consent) to restrict my app to only a subset of calendars? Or should I approach this problem differently and (e.g.) not use a service account in the first place?
I have created an app in https://apps.dev.microsoft.com portal with name GroupsApp and I have given couple of permissions as below:
I have created client id and secret to use in my application. I am using asp.net MVC (with 4.5.1 .net framework) web application.
I am getting some groups info and displaying on the screen. If I am logged with my account it is working fine. But if I logged in as another user then it is giving me issue as below:
I have formatted url as below: https://login.microsoftonline.com/948894dc-c0e2-43e5-a7e6-1d21dd183c9d/oauth2/authorize?client_id=75acb700-e675-4dc4-9deb-d3f68f6911a1&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://localhost:34280&prompt=admin_consent and trying to granted the permission. Here I have logged in as admin and given permissions.
Now if I check with normal user same issue is happening.
How should I give the permissions to this application.
I am not able to find any option to approve the permissions from the Azure portal.

I could encounter the same issue according to your settings. I assumed that you may hit the Admin-restricted scopes of AAD v2.0 as follows:
Some high-privilege permissions in the Microsoft ecosystem can be set to admin-restricted. Examples of these kinds of scopes include the following permissions:
Read an organization's directory data by using Directory.Read
Write data to an organization's directory by using Directory.ReadWrite
Read security groups in an organization's directory by using Groups.Read.All
Although a consumer user might grant an application access to this kind of data, organizational users are restricted from granting access to the same set of sensitive company data. If your application requests access to one of these permissions from an organizational user, the user receives an error message that says they are not authorized to consent to your app's permissions.
You could Using the admin consent endpoint and follow this Build an app with admin restricted scopes using the v2.0 endpoint github code sample to ensure your app can gather permissions for all users in a tenant, including admin-restricted scopes.
