Describe the bug / error
I'm having an interesting issue, when I'm using the MSGraphClientV3 in SPFx the following call fails:
PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/admin/people/profileCardProperties/UserPrincipalName
BODY
{
"annotations": [
{
"displayName": "UPN",
"localizations": [
{
"displayName": "Test122",
"languageTag": "ar-TN"
}
]
}
]
}
I get an 403 Forbidden
Response
{
"error": {
"code": "UnknownError",
"message": "",
"innerError": {
"date": "2023-12-04T12:35:12",
"request-id": "18740317-0dd0-4bd9-abf6-cb28e777c11e",
"client-request-id": "7b1ef20a-fc9d-64d3-3ed8-c12e27c8a81c"
}
}
}
What (with the help of the Graph support team) have narrowed it down to is that if I create a token via. Postman, Graph Explore, or elsewhere, I get a property like this
```JSON
"wids": [
"62e90394-69f5-4237-9190-012177145e10",
"b79fbf4d-3ef9-4689-8143-76b194e85509"
],
where as the SPFx token only has a "haswids": "true",
Steps to reproduce
Create SPFx solution, grant the PeopleSettings.ReadWrite.All graph permissions, and follow the docs to get a GraphClientV3
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/use-aad-tutorial#using-msgraphclientv3
Try the request from above, and watch it fail, retry in Graph Explorer to validate your user does indeed have the required permissions.
Expected behavior
The token should grant the same permissions as the Graph Explorer (not same scopes, but same roles)
NOTE This is a reopen of an old issue that has more info #9368 - but is still present
