Cancelling calendar events via MS Graph no longer working

Hello

On of our applications cancels Calendar events via MS Graph. It has been working fine but has now started returning error 'Your request can't be completed. You need to be an organizer to cancel a meeting.'

The application has permission 'Calendars.ReadWrite' (type=application).

It is a Java application using the MS Graph client. As far as I know, nothing has changed in the app or in the calendars.

Kind regards

Steve

    Are you sending a delete or cancel?

    Delete is needed here according to the documentation:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/event-delete?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

    Cancel only works for the organizer:
