With the app token, can query Sharepoint (sites, drives, folders, files, etc) with Sites.Selected permission. However, getting errors like 403 with search queries (i.e. searching file content) Can you point to where in the documentation I overlooked? Is this feature supported with Sites.Selected? If not, which permission is required to enable it?

Hi @ Evan Robert Grillo , Per the document, you will need at least Files.Read.All permission. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/search-query?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http Please check if you have granted the permission in Sites.Selected.

Hi,

On doc Get lists in a site there's no mention about Sites.Selected. Therefore, we can use this endoint with Sites.Selected only.

That's why I find it curious that we can't use /search/query with Sites.Selected.

Sites.Selected is essentially a SCOPE and NOT the permission itself.

We have a selection of Sites where the App has Full Control and just the search doesn't work. It shouldn't throw "No User or App Context found" error since there is no user context even when we change the permission from Sites.Selected to Sites.Read.All.

Is Microsoft planning to make search/query endpoint search in Sites.Selected scopes only ? Here, the application can read ALL sharepoint site, that unsecure.
