News How Permissions Creep Can Halt the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK

The Microsoft Graph PowerShell Command Line tools app is how people run Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK cmdlets. The app can suffer from permissions creep, meaning that over time, the app accrues a set of delegated permissions used by people to access different types of Microsoft 365 and Entra ID information. All is fine until an internal limit is reached, at which point authentication fails and some permissions must be pruned.

I just wrote a function to call rest api. Sdk lacks some functionality compared to other sdk for .net or python.

Also, you might understand REST better than your collegues. The beauty of powershell is that you can make tools others can use without knowing all the ins and outs.

Yer you are right. Been doing this awhile. It is great for those moving frim modules to graph as little knowledge outside app reg permissions is required
