Searching all emails with MS Graph API

Question

Hello, our team is trying to implement emails search using MS Graph and we want users to be able to access and search emails of other users inside of an azure directory. So far we tried accessing emails via MS Graph Search API with application permissions for mails (Mair.Read), but it only throws an error that we don't have enough permissions to search (I assume, because it expects delegated permissions for mails).

So, Is there a way to allow users search all emails in an azure directory?

Hi @Samir Brooks ,

Thanks for posting!

As per the Microsoft Graph Documentation, currently using Search API, you can access only the signed-in user’s own mailbox. Searching delegated mailboxes is not supported. You can refer below link for same.
