Graph API Permissions17

Microsoft do not provide a direct mapping between Directory actions and Graph API permissions, despite this being necessary for delegated (interactive) access. MSAdminRoles.com has meticulously compiled a list of the Graph API permissions that each built-in admin role enables you to utilise. Please note this listing is not 100% accurate. Graph API permissions and Entra RBAC operate as two independent authorisation planes and do not map to each other on a one-to-one basis.
