Hello Mohammed Usama Maaz (IN)

Thanks for reaching out to us. For the Face API, only face detection with parameter returnFaceId=false doesn't require approval, FaceId is part of Face Recognition. Other than this, almost all the remaining APIs require. PersonGroup's purpose is for identify, so it needs limited access.

I am sorry about the inconvenience, I hope you can understand. If you have already done that but still got the error, please let me know.
