Resetting password using graph api inside power virtual agent

Question

I am trying to create chatbot that will reset user's password using power virtual agent. For the password reset flow I tried to follow these steps: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Http-request-Azure-AD-Change-password/td-p/894179

and i have given permissions Delegate: UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite.All as stated in documentation. Inside power automate I first have a flow to obtain a bearer token and then a password reset flow. But I keep getting error 403 access denied.

After reading the documentation on authorization errors https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/resolve-auth-errors the only way to reset user's password is to use delegate permissions as application permissions are no longer supported. But how do I use delegate permissions if I am trying to create a bot that will reset the password on behalf of the user.

Hi @anonymous123

Yes, according to the Graph API, resetting the password requires delegation permission.

To use delegate permissions, you need to use Auth code flow, you can refer to this link to get the corresponding token:

Hope this helps.
