Is it possible to grant an application being registered with an Azure Active Directory (tenant) permission to view some, but not all, groups? There's the Groups.Read.All permission, but the customers of the application in question don't wish to expose all groups (and users) in the AD to the application.

    Hi @Ol S

    No, most of the Graph permissions are tenant-wide, and currently we can't manage the permissions of tenant-wide groups in a finer-grained way.
