Microsoft Graph tutorials

Microsoft Graph tutorials are step-by-step training exercises that guide you through creating a basic application that accesses data via Microsoft Graph. They are designed to be completed within 30 minutes.

Delegated (user) authentication

In the delegated authentication tutorials, you create a basic command-line application that has the following features:

• Enables user authentication to get access on behalf of a user
• Accesses the user's profile
• Lists the user's mailbox
• Sends an email from the user's mailbox

If you prefer to download a completed project, you can do so from one of the following locations:

• The project's corresponding GitHub repository. Instructions for registering an application and configuring the sample are located in each repository.
• A Microsoft Graph quick start. A quick start automates registering an application for you and downloads the completed project already configured for user authentication. A quick start is available for all tutorials except Power Automate.

App-only authentication

In the app-only authentication tutorials, you create a basic command-line application that has the following features:

• Enables app-only authentication to get access without a user
• Lists users in Microsoft Entra ID

If you prefer to download a completed project, you can do so from the project's corresponding GitHub repository. Instructions for registering an application and configuring the sample are located in each repository.
