"message": "Insufficient privileges to complete the operation.",

even after having consent of all the following permissions

Able to call the GET api https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users

Answer 1

Hi @Taha Shahabuddin , After my testing the cause of the problem may be
The account you use to obtain a token through authentication is not an administrator account within the tenant
Only the administrator account has permission to create new users, you can go to the AD portal to set the currently logged in user as a global administrator and regain the token.

Hope this helps you and I wish you all the best.
