Required refresh Token with grant_type is client_credentials ?

Question

Hi All,

I am able to generate Access Token using grant_type client_credentials, but this token expires in 3599 and it does not give any refresh_Token,

Can you please let us know, how will I generate new Access token once it expired?

Hi @sundeep kumar ,

The client credential flow you are using will not issue refresh tokens, but you can extend the lifetime of the access token by configuring the access token lifetime policy, but the maximum lifetime of the token still cannot exceed 24 hours. You can get refresh token with authorization code grant flow where the user logs in will issue the refresh token.

Please go through this thread for more information: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/633248/graph-api-how-to-get-and-use-a-refresh-token-in-my.html

Hope this helps.
