Error 403 on create element with sites.selected permission

Question

Hello,
i have an app registration in AAD with app delegated graph api permission Sites.Selected. In Sharepoint i added role "Write" to these app. I tested if i could update an element in a list and it works. But if i try to create a new element with the same token i get an 403 error. Then i set permission to Sites.FullAccess.All and it works. Does it mean that Sites.Selected with role Write can't create elements in a list?
I test also if the given body and url are right in graph explorer. With my admin credentials it works. So the problem is just the permission i think.
Thank you for your answers.

Hi @Unverzagt, Marko ,

I got the same results as yours on my end. Both update and delete ListItem operations would work for the AAD app with Sites.Selected permission (added role write). Only create operation would not work. I even added role "manage" or "fullcontrol" for the app. Sitill create operation would not work.

I believe it's a bug for Sites.Selected permissions.

I submitted this issue in github: https://github.com/microsoftgraph/microsoft-graph-docs/issues/13334

Hi @MichaelHan-MSFT ,

I tried adding to the GitHub issue as well but seems like we're back to Microsoft QnA.

Do you have any suggestions for making sure that this problem gets flagged to the right department/place?
