Access issues to get transcript id using online meetings API

Question

We are trying to fetch transcript id from meeting id using "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/<UserID>/onlineMeetings/<MeetingID>/transcripts/" in response we see the following error

{

    "error": {

        "code": "Forbidden",

        "message": "Application is not allowed to perform operations on the user '******@pXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.onmicrosoft.com', neither is allowed access through RSC permission evaluation.",

        "innerError": {

            "date": "2025-03-26T06:52:38",

            "request-id": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXb4",

            "client-request-id": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

        }

    }

}

I have checked for the policies here --> https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/policies/meetings/ And I see there is already a policy has been assigned to my email. That policy has the 'Meeting recording' and 'Transcription' enabled like below:

These are the permissions available in the app: OnlineMeetings.Read.All, OnlineMeetings.ReadWrite.All, OnlineMeetingArtifact.Read.All, OnlineMeetingTranscript.Read.All, OnlineMeetingRecording.Read.All, CallRecords.Read.All

Is there anything else that we are missing here - regarding permissions or policies? Please let me know, Thanks!

Hello Mahesh Kurucheti,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft!!

For the error mentioned while trying to access transcripts using Graph API,

Did you create and assign an application access policy? This is a requirement when using application permissions, as detailed in the documentation:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/onlinemeeting-list-recordings?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

To use application permission for this API, tenant administrators must create an application access policy and grant it to a user. It authorizes the app configured in the policy to fetch online meetings or online meeting artifacts on behalf of that user (with the user ID specified in the request path). For more information, see allow applications to access online meetings on behalf of a user.

Hope this helps.
