GET user Id via PrincipalUserName

Question

I have a callout that gets a Microsoft User Id via "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/" + Email (Principal User Id)

I have confirmed I have the correct permissions User.Read.All, and I my Authorization callout is working correctly. Here's what I have:

GET: 
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/validEmail%40validDomain.com
HEADERS:
Authorization = Bearer {{AuthToken}}
Content-Type = application/json

And here is what I am getting:

{
    "error": {
        "code": "Authorization_RequestDenied",
        "message": "Insufficient privileges to complete the operation.",
        "innerError": {
            "date": "2023-10-06T16:48:12",
            "request-id": "123...",
            "client-request-id": "123..."
        }
    }
}

Any help or ideas are appreciated!

Hi @tyler cushing

Are you granting application permissions? It seems like you are trying to get other user's information, then you should grant application permissions to the calling app instead of delegate permissions. Please check.

Next, you need to request an access token using the daemon-based client credentials flow.
