Planner API : MS Graph Application Permissions

Question

I am trying to integrate Planner with a custom app. I tried the API's in Graph Explorer and it works well.

But when I try to use an Application token and try the Planner API, it is giving me 403 error. Then I saw that the Planner API doesn't support Application permissions yet.

Is there any workaround around this ? or is there any timeline when the Planner API will support Application Permissions ?

Answer 1

The only available workaround is to create an account to be used by the app and add it to every group as a member. We're looking into adding Application Permissions, specifically for read operations, but I can't provide a timeline for when this will be available.
