How to use user's access token or access token based on Tenant ID in Microsoft graph API?

Question

Here are the methods I tried using the Microsoft Graph API and their respective outcomes:

Method 1:

• After Single Sign-On (SSO), we obtain an access token.
• This access token is used as a bearer token for Graph API integration.

    public function redirectToMicrosoft(){
        return Socialize::driver('graph')->scopes(['offline_access'])->redirect();
        }

    public function handleMicrosoftCallback(){   
        $user = Socialize::driver('graph')->user();
        return $user->access_token;
    }

• Resulted in the following error:
  • URL: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/onenote/pages
  • Response:
    • Error Code: 40001
    • Error Message: "The request does not contain a valid authentication token."
  • URL: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/gowrishankari97@outlook.com/events
  • Response:
    • Error Code: ErrorAccessDenied
    • Error Message: "Access is denied. Check credentials and try again."

Method 2:

• Obtaining an access token based on the tenant ID and specified parameters.
• Using the obtained access token.

    public function getAccessToken()
    {
        $tenantId = env('MICROSOFT_TENANT_ID');
        $clientSecret = env('MICROSOFT_CLIENT_SECRET');
        $clientId = env('MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID');        
    
        $input = [
            'grant_type' => 'client_credentials',
            'client_id' => $clientId,
            'scope' =>"https://graph.microsoft.com/.default",
            'client_secret' => $clientSecret,
        ];
      
        $client = new Client();
        $response = $client->request('POST', "https://login.microsoftonline.com/$tenantId/oauth2/v2.0/token", ['form_params' => $input]);
     
        $statusCode = $response->getStatusCode();
        $responseBody = json_decode($response->getBody(), true);
    
        $this->accessToken = $responseBody['access_token'];
        return $responseBody;
    }

• Resulted in the following errors:
  • URL: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/events
    • Response:
      • Error Code: BadRequest
      • Error Message: "/me request is only valid with delegated authentication flow."
  • URL: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/gowrishankari97@outlook.com/events
    • Response:
      • Error Code: OrganizationFromTenantGuidNotFound
      • Error Message: "The tenant for tenant guid '{TENANT_ID}' does not exist."

UPDATE:

Kindly find the permission below,

When attempting to sign in with an Azure AD-configured email, which involves registering an email address to obtain a client and secret. I get the code and the access token API works fine.

When attempting to sign in with different outlook mail, I get the below error. Please refer the screenshot,

Answer 1

Note that, you cannot fetch personal Outlook calendar events using token generated with client credentials flow.

You need to switch to delegated flows like authorization code flow by granting delegated permissions with /common endpoint.

In my case, I registered one multi-tenant application with below account type that allows both organizational and personal Microsoft accounts:

Now, I granted Calendars.ReadWrite permission of Delegated type in that application as below:

Initially, I ran below authorization request in browser that displayed consent screen after signing in:

https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize? 
client_id=appId
&redirect_uri=https://jwt.ms
&response_type=code  
&response_mode=query  
&scope=https://graph.microsoft.com/.default
&state=12345

After accepting the consent, I got authorization code value in address bar:

Now, I generated access token using authorization code flow via Postman with below parameters including code value:

POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/tenantId/oauth2/v2.0/token
grant_type: authorization_code
client_id: appId 
client_secret: secret 
scope: https://graph.microsoft.com/.default
code: paste_code_from_above
redirect_uri: https://jwt.ms

Response:

When I used this token to fetch events of personal outlook calendar user, I got the response successfully as below:

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/events

Response:

If you are trying to list or create events in normal Azure AD user account, make sure to assign an active Office 365 license to the user.

UPDATE:

Note that, the error Invalid request. Request is malformed or invalid usually occurs if you are passing invalid values in token parameters.

I got the same error when passed invalid or extra characters in code parameter while generating token like this:

To resolve the error, you should remove this part &state=12345&session_state=9c29347d-1351-48c8-90dc-c1ab380a6221 from code parameter

Your valid code value should be this:
