Description

We're adding a new Permissions section to all commands. This section will document the minimal delegated and application permissions required to execute the command.

The goal is to:

  • Make it easier to run the CLI with custom app registrations and application permissions.
  • Ensure we only document the minimal set of permissions needed.
  • Keep documentation consistent by placing the Permissions section right before the Examples section.
  • If there are multiple resources, order them alphabetically
  • If there are commands that only support one type of auth (like delegated or app-only), we have an example for that as well. E.g. m365 planner tenant settings list - Permissions
