Tag: GraphAPI

What’s Microsoft Graph API? Well, Microsoft says it like this:

“Microsoft Graph is made up of resources connected by relationships. For example, a user can be connected to a group through a memberOf relationship, and to another user through a manager relationship. Your app can traverse these relationships to access these connected resources and perform actions on them through the API.”

In practice, it offers a developer an unified API, where you can access most resources available in Office 365. Not all, though, but Microsoft is improving it almost weekly.

In case you’re not using it yet, you probably should! This category contains all of my posts related to my findings about Graph API – there’s probably going to be a lot of authentication stuff, too… :) For just them, check out the Azure AD or ADAL -categories!

Graph API throws “$count is not currently supported.” when you KNOW it’s supported?

Hey, another funny case. “Funny” as in “the error message is misleading and googling didn’t really help”, but also as in “a colleague knew the answer right off the bat because he already fixed it in another project”. This time the documentation was in fact there, it just wasn’t there to be found. Anyway – what have I broken this time? Problem When you’re calling Graph API with both $filter and $count, for example like this: Instead of the expected number of found items, you…Continue reading Graph API throws “$count is not currently supported.” when you KNOW it’s supported?

Unified Groups aren't supported.

How to solve “Unified Groups aren’t supported.” -error

When trying to use some functionality, that relies on Unified Groups, you’re getting errors in the console, similar to this: “Unified Groups aren’t supported.” In truth, this most likely means, that Unified Groups (that’s the internal/technical name for Office 365 Groups) is not enabled for this particular user. That breaks a bunch of different features for them, since the Graph API for Groups of course won’t work. This post describes one way to fix this issue! How to solve this? There’s a fair chance this is caused by…Continue reading How to solve “Unified Groups aren’t supported.” -error

How to form links to Planner tasks

Office 365 Planner is a neat tool for task management. However, when you, for whatever use case, need to form urls that point you towards a single task (or a bucket, or a plan for that matter), you might run into trouble with how the url is formed. Custom domains actually make it a bit complicated, but luckily there’s a workaround! Description of the issue If you have multiple domains in your Azure AD, your Planner might end up using your custom domain in its…Continue reading How to form links to Planner tasks

Call to sites Graph API requires “owner” permissions for site collection regardless of app permissions

Okay – yet another weird issue, and a hacky workaround. I was developing an app that was calling a SharePoint site through Graph API, using jQuery $.ajax call (developed in TypeScript), and ran into surprising 401 errors. I did find a workaround, but am also working on an actual fix. Description To get SharePoint site ID, which is needed when accessing SharePoint lists, the calls seemed to fail for my test accounts. Everything was working fine for my developer account, which was a global admin,…Continue reading Call to sites Graph API requires “owner” permissions for site collection regardless of app permissions

Azure AD Login error

4 ways to fix error AADSTS65001 (The user or administrator has not consented to use the application)

Have you run into error AADSTS65001 with your application, that tries to authenticate against Azure AD? I sure have – seems to happen at least every other time when I’m building something that uses AAD to authenticate against SharePoint. Fixing issues with Azure AD authentication for Enterprise applications can be tricky. But a lot of the time, this is just another Azure Active Directory error that we can fix easily. This article contains multiple different solutions to the issue, where granting admin consent has somehow…Continue reading 4 ways to fix error AADSTS65001 (The user or administrator has not consented to use the application)
