AADSTS70008: The provided authorization code or refresh token has expired due to inactivity

Question

Hi,

I am trying to set up an API connection with Microsoft Graph in order to automate our employee onboarding process (i.e. create a user in microsoft 365). After registering the app and defining the permissions, I am stuck at the authorization and authentication step.

Namely, when sending an interactive authentication request, I obtain a code which I then use to request an acces token. However, I directly get the following error message:
AADSTS70008: The provided authorization code or refresh token has expired due to inactivity. Send a new interactive authorization request for this user and resource.

How is it possible when I have just created the app and not been able to obtain a token yet?

Any help is appreciated !

Hi @Maxine Widemann

1.This is an error caused by the api tool, you can switch to postman to get the token.

2.When creating a user, you must ensure that the user you log in is granted at least the role of user administrator.
