What type of Authentication will work best for my LMS

Question

I am trying to connect our LMS to Microsoft Teams so that we can schedule classes as Microsoft Teams Meeting. I am trying to decide what type of authentication I should be using to connect to MS Graph API. We want any Admin to be able to schedule a class for any instructor and also to be able to enroll any student.

Here is how I would like the logical flow. An admin logs in. Admin creates a class in our database, then creates a meeting in Teams and enrolls the Instructor to the meeting as a presenter. Next the admin can add students to the class. When the user/instructor log into the LMS they will be presented with a link to join the meeting.

What type of authentication would work best for this scenario? Can I give the app itself scheduling permissions or does that have to be assigned to a user?

@Michael Hanewinckel ,

It seems no official document specifies which type of authentication is better for LMS. If you want to use Microsoft Graph API, I will add office-teams-app-dev tag to seek for more support. Thanks for your understanding.

Besides, this article which gives more in-depth guidance on optimizing Teams with LMS deserves a read.
