The Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK uses a default enterprise app to hold its permissions. Over time, the SDK can accrue many permissions, so it's important to control interactive access to it. In this article, we review how to lock down the SDK app and how to create new registered apps for use with the Graph SDK.
In the first article about using the Planner Graph API to report details of plans in a Microsoft 365 tenant, we explained the basics of how to extract data about plans, tasks, and buckets to create a report using a PowerShell script. Now we take the lessons learned a step forward to illustrate the principle that with access to data, the possibility for creative use of that data is boundless and upgrade the script to include a listing of incomplete tasks and per-user analysis of incomplete tasks for each plan.
It's great to be able to run Graph API requests in PowerShell scripts if everything goes right.

Microsoft will begin charging to use of Teams Export Graph APIs on a consumption meter basis from July 5. That might not seem such a bad idea, unless you're an ISV and would like to use the APIs for products like backup or tenant-to-tenant migration solutions.
