The calling user must be assigned one of the following Microsoft Entra roles:

• User Administrator
• Privileged Authentication Administrator
• Global Administrator

To delete users with privileged administrator roles in delegated scenarios, the app must be assigned the Directory.AccessAsUser.All delegated permission, and the calling user must have a higher privileged administrator role as indicated in Who can perform sensitive actions.

In app-only scenarios, the User.ReadWrite.All application permission isn't enough privilege to delete users with privileged administrative roles. The app must be assigned a higher privileged administrator role as indicated in Who can perform sensitive actions.
