How to Find the Right Scope for Microsoft Graph Cmdlets

When working with Microsoft Graph PowerShell cmdlets for automating tasks, creating scripts, or managing Microsoft 365 resources, we often rely on permissions without fully understanding them.  This leads to permission errors that break your script midway, block automation workflows, or force you to figure out which scope is actually required. The usual fix? Search online, copy a working example, and use whatever high-privilege scope is suggested. It works, so we move on.  Finding the right scope isn’t just about making your script work. It’s about following the principle of least privilege,...

How to Create Adaptive Scopes in Microsoft Purview

For example, during user onboarding or offboarding, retention gaps often occur when policies are applied using static selection. As users move between departments or regions, compliance policies need frequent manual updates. This can result in missed updates, uneven retention, security risks, and other issues that make the environment less stable. Adaptive scopes in Microsoft Purview provide a cleaner approach by using rules... Read More Read More
