Is this a bug, or is there an error in the documentation?

The documentation states that Group.Read.All should be sufficient to fetch channel members. However, when executing the query, it results in a 403 error and requests ChannelMember.Read.All or ChannelMember.ReadWrite.All permissions instead.

Is this a bug, or is there an error in the documentation?

Note: The beta version of the API works fine with the Group.Read.All scope.Screenshot 2024-07-16 at 4.47.31 PM

    Hello @Ankur Gupta,

    Thanks for reaching Microsoft.

    I tested the API and was able to replicate your issue. Ideally, the least privileged permission should suffice. I suggest you to submit the content feedback request from within the document, briefing this inconsistency of technical information in the document. Please use the feedback option as highlighted in the screenshot below:

    Meanwhile, you can use the ChannelMember.Read.All permission to access this API.
