Getting forbidden error while trying GetPresencesByUserId Graph API after following all the steps as required

Question

I tried all the steps to register the app, gave all the required permissions as per the document of GetPresenceByUserId, still getting the forbidden error.

On the other hand, when I tried other Graph APIs like to get User Information it is working fine.

Also searched for many community solutions but none of them worked.

Hi @Parth Baxi

This endpoint does not support application permissions, so you must call the API in the context of delegation.

Try granting Presence.Read.All delegated permissions to your app, and then use the delegated authentication flow to get an access token, such as auth code flow or ROPC flow.

Or use your user to log in to Graph Explorer and call the endpoint directly:

Hope this helps.

@Parth Baxi

Get User Presence API with Application Permission now available in Graph v1.0. I verified it.

See this comment too from December 21, 2023. The Graph API change log is not yet updated.

therefore, following Api should work now with application permission.
