Differences in microsoft graph API (events)

Question

I want to create an event in teams using the microsoft graph API. The difference between the following APIs is that (1) is used when the Permission type is Delegated, and (2) is used when the Permission type is Application?
Regarding (2), is it possible to specify a specific user and create a teams event?
Regarding (1), we recognize that a specific user cannot be specified.

(1) POST / me / events
(2) POST / users / {id | userPrincipalName} / events

Answer 1

Hi @ooumi77 ,

Here are the following answers to your queries:

(1) POST /me/events - Is used for Delegated Permissions which can be used using Graph Explorer, the access token you get here is on behalf of your account and the selected permissions only apply to your calendar.

(2) POST /users/{id|userPrincipalName}/events -

To get access to a colleague's calendar you have to acquire an access token on their behalf or read/write to a shared or delegated calendar from them. To perform this it requires application scope.

I tried to replicate the same at my end. please find the details below.

Hope this helps,
