Access denied when deleting Teams member

Question

I am trying to delete a Teams member using Microsoft Graph Explorer. I am receiving the error:

Forbidden - 403 - 744ms. You need to consent to the permissions on the Modify permissions (Preview) tab

However, the Modify Permissions tab shows TeamMember.ReadWrite.All as Consented. What am I missing?

Answer 1

Are you trying to run this against a team you’re not an owner of? You may have consented, but it also requires explicit admin consent. You can check this by going into Azure AD’s Enterprise Apps, look up the Graph Explorer app and select the Permissions option.

Answer 2

This has nothing to do with your permissions but with your role. Ordinary users cannot delete members in teams. Please make sure that the account you log in to Microsoft Graph Explorer has been granted the role of Teams Administrator. And the account must be a work/school account, not a personal Microsoft account.
