Struggling to get sufficient permissions to run the webpart

[MMAtHome]

Hi, our IT team have implemented MFA and I am struggling to grant the required permissions for the webpart. Having connected to PnP and attempting to run the relevant commands, I get the following error.

We are using an account that is global admin.

PS C:\Windows\system32> Grant-PnPTenantServicePrincipalPermission -Scope "User.Read.All" -Resource "Microsoft Graph"

Grant-PnPTenantServicePrincipalPermission : Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
At line:1 char:1

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : EXCEPTION,PnP.PowerShell.Commands.Apps.GrantTenantServicePrincipalPermission

It looks like your account is not having the correct permissions, which would be impossible if it is a Global Admin...
Could you try the M365 CLI and see if you have the same issue?

Yannick, Once again, thank you very much for your help on this issue. The issue appears to have been down to the permissions that the "admin" had available. He did not have global tenant privileges hence the request was coming back as "unauthorised". I realise this is out-of-scope of what you write on Github, but I wonder if it may be useful to those who may be new to AzureAD / GraphAPI. Thanks again, Martin
