OneNote now requires Notes.ReadWrite.All,Notes.Read.All permission

I have been backing up and restoring the OneNote pages by using Graph API no problem with 'Directory.Read.All''Sites.ReadWrite.All''User.Read.All' permissions.

But recently customer have reported this error message.

40004 Message: The OAuth token provided does not have the necessary scopes to complete the request. Please make sure you are including one or more of the following scopes: Notes.ReadWrite.All,Notes.Read.All

I understand you can change your policy any time but I suggest you provide a certain centralized way to notify the MS-Graph API developers about the changes.

If there is already, and it's not like 'please come and check the API documentation regularly', can you please share here.

Thanks

Solution

  • Sorry for the confusion. All OneNote Graph APIs need specific notes scopes in the OAuth token. You can refer to this permissions document that has always been there: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/permissions-reference#notes-permissions

    There was a bug why it was working for you before, which we fixed recently.
