Powershell - Do "Grant Permissions" action on Azure AD Application with Powershell

Question

I'm creating an Azure AD application using AzureAD module to call Microsoft Graph API. I can successfully generate the access token. But, when I try to call the API I have an error "message": "Invalid scope claims/roles.".

When I click on "Grant Permissions" button in my created application in Azure Portal and retry the call to API, the call is working.

I don't find anywhere how to do this "Grant Permissions" actions with Powershell. Is there a way to do that ?

Thanks

Damien

There is an easy way to do this (as admin), it requires you have the AzureAD and AzureRM modules installed for Powershell and is not supported by Microsoft.

Original post / reference to my blog is here: http://www.lieben.nu/liebensraum/2018/04/how-to-grant-oauth2-permissions-to-an-azure-ad-application-using-powershell-unattended-silently/

The specific code sample that should help you accomplish this:

Function Grant-OAuth2PermissionsToApp{
Param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]$Username, #global administrator username
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]$Password, #global administrator password
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]$azureAppId #application ID of the azure application you wish to admin-consent to
)

$secpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString $Password -AsPlainText -Force
$mycreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($Username, $secpasswd)
$res = login-azurermaccount -Credential $mycreds
$context = Get-AzureRmContext
$tenantId = $context.Tenant.Id
$refreshToken = @($context.TokenCache.ReadItems() | where {$_.tenantId -eq $tenantId -and $_.ExpiresOn -gt (Get-Date)})[0].RefreshToken
$body = "grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=$($refreshToken)&resource=74658136-14ec-4630-ad9b-26e160ff0fc6"
$apiToken = Invoke-RestMethod "https://login.windows.net/$tenantId/oauth2/token" -Method POST -Body $body -ContentType 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
$header = @{
'Authorization' = 'Bearer ' + $apiToken.access_token
'X-Requested-With'= 'XMLHttpRequest'
'x-ms-client-request-id'= [guid]::NewGuid()
'x-ms-correlation-id' = [guid]::NewGuid()}
$url = "https://main.iam.ad.ext.azure.com/api/RegisteredApplications/$azureAppId/Consent?onBehalfOfAll=true"
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Headers $header -Method POST -ErrorAction Stop
}

I came across the same error 'Refresh token is malformed'. When reading out the refreshtoken the token was twice in the string. Resolved it by adding the line

$refreshtoken = $refreshtoken.Split("`n")[0]
