    The error message you are encountering indicates that the API requires permissions that only an administrator can grant. Even if you have configured the necessary permissions, admin consent is still needed for certain permissions to be effective.

    To resolve this issue, please follow these steps:

    1. Contact your IT Administrator: Ask them to sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as a Global Administrator.
    2. Navigate to the Application Permissions: They should go to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications, select your application, and then go to Permissions.
    3. Grant Admin Consent: They need to click on the Grant admin consent for [Organization Name] button to approve the requested permissions.

    Once the admin consent is granted, the application should work without further permission prompts. If issues persist, ensure that all required permissions are granted and that no new scopes have been added after consent was given.

    For more detailed guidance, you can refer to Microsoft’s official documentation on granting tenant-wide admin consent to an application.
