Which permissions do I need to create a new Planner plan programmatically in PowerShell?

Question

I would like to create a new Planner plan programmatically with PowerShell. Which permissions do I need? I am already a global admin. I received this error:

New-MgPlannerPlan_Create: C:\PS\Diversen\CreatePlannerPlan.ps1:13:5

Line |

13 | $plan = New-MgPlannerPlan -BodyParameter $params

| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

| You do not have the required permissions to access this item, or the item may not exist. Status: 403 (Forbidden)

$groupid = "someGUID"
$planName = "someName"

$params = @{
    container = @{
        url = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/$groupid"
    }
    title     = $planName
}
try {
    $plan = New-MgPlannerPlan -BodyParameter $params
}
catch {
    write-error "Could not create the plan. Error:`n $_"
    exit
}
