Clarity: Mostly clear
Activity status: Stale
Tech stack: azure, java
Domain: api, authentication

Research direction

Start with the GraphServicesClient constructor and follow how its scopes reach AzureIdentityAccessTokenProvider and the Azure identity credential shown in the stack trace. Reproduce the client with two scopes, then verify that using it no longer raises the ScopeUtil resource-string error and that the single-scope behavior remains intact.
