I'm getting an "ErrorAccessDenied" when attempting to get user photos with the Microsoft Graph API v1.0. I have approx 200 users, and I'm getting this error for around 1 in 10 user photos (the others work fine).

I can get user profile info fine with:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/tenantID.onmicrosoft.com/users/someUserId/

But for some users, attempting to get a photo:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/tenantID.onmicrosoft.com/users/someUserId/photo
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/tenantID.onmicrosoft.com/users/someUserId/photo/$value

returns "ErrorAccessDenied":

{
  "error": {
    "code": "ErrorAccessDenied",
    "message": "Access is denied. Check credentials and try again.",
    "innerError": {
      "request-id": "ea95a205-23c1-4f3c-b8d5-6ab1dcff0a2e",
      "date": "2015-11-26T00:02:11"
    }
  }
}

It works fine if I switch back to the beta endpoint, it's only an issue on v1.0.

Your requests are correct. You are getting errors on some users due to those users not having the right build with a fix that is rolling out. Apologies for the inconvenience, the deployment should complete in a few days. Note, this issue was captured in the release notes: https://graph.microsoft.io/docs/overview/release_notes
