Graph Search Files by Content with Sites.Selected Permission (App Auth Token)

Question

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.

Please check if you have granted the permission in Sites.Selected.
