Now if we run our code we will get the 403 Forbidden error.

This is because we have selected the Sites.Selected permission, but have not specified the site and the permission.

For that, we can use either Graph API or PnP PowerShell.

Let us use PnP PowerShell here.

Grant-PnPAzureADAppSitePermission -AppId “{app-id}” -DisplayName “{app-name}” -Site “https://{tenant}.sharepoint.com/sites/{site-name}” -Permissions “Write”

Grant-PnPAzureADAppSitePermission -AppId “d7eaeeb7-ef0a-474d-9b94-567013576c14” -DisplayName “SharePointApp” -Site “https://w72tk.sharepoint.com/sites/MyTeamSite” -Permissions “Write”

This time as expected we do not get the Forbidden error.

The other Permissions that we can specify are – Read, Manage, FullControl.

Fixed – The term ‘Connect-PnPOnline’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program – PowerShell


If you are getting the below error even after running the Install-Module PnP.PowerShell command, it could be because of the older version of PowerShell.

The minimum PowerShell version required for PnP.PowerShell is PowerShell 7.2.

Check the current version using the command – $PSVersionTable

Here we have used the Winget (Windows Package Manager) tool to install it.

winget search Microsoft.PowerShell

winget install –id Microsoft.Powershell –source winget
