How to run the completed project

January 27, 2023 · View on GitHub

Prerequisites

To run the completed project in this folder, you need the following:

The .NET SDK installed on your development machine. (Note: This tutorial was written with .NET SDK version 7.0.102. The steps in this guide may work with other versions, but that has not been tested.)
Either a personal Microsoft account with a mailbox on Outlook.com, or a Microsoft work or school account. If you don't have a Microsoft account, there are a couple of options to get a free account:
- You can sign up for a new personal Microsoft account.
- You can sign up for the Microsoft 365 Developer Program to get a free Microsoft 365 subscription.

Register an application

You can register an application using the Azure Active Directory admin center, or by using the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK.

Azure Active Directory admin center

Open a browser and navigate to the Azure Active Directory admin center and login using a personal account (aka: Microsoft Account) or Work or School Account.
Select Azure Active Directory in the left-hand navigation, then select App registrations under Manage.
Select New registration. Enter a name for your application, for example, .NET Graph Tutorial.

Set Supported account types as desired. The options are:

Option	Who can sign in?
Accounts in this organizational directory only	Only users in your Microsoft 365 organization
Accounts in any organizational directory	Users in any Microsoft 365 organization (work or school accounts)
Accounts in any organizational directory ... and personal Microsoft accounts	Users in any Microsoft 365 organization (work or school accounts) and personal Microsoft accounts

Leave Redirect URI empty.
Select Register. On the application's Overview page, copy the value of the Application (client) ID and save it, you will need it in the next step. If you chose Accounts in this organizational directory only for Supported account types, also copy the Directory (tenant) ID and save it.
Select Authentication under Manage. Locate the Advanced settings section and change the Allow public client flows toggle to Yes, then choose Save.

PowerShell

To use PowerShell, you'll need the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK. If you do not have it, see Install the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK for installation instructions.

NOTE: The PowerShell script requires a work/school account with the Application administrator, Cloud application administrator, or Global administrator role. If your account has the Application developer role, you can register in the Azure AD admin center.

Open PowerShell and run the RegisterAppForUserAuth.ps1 file with the following command, replacing <audience-value> with the desired value (see table below).

Note: The RegisterAppForUserAuth.ps1 script requires a work/school account with the Application administrator, Cloud application administrator, or Global administrator role.

.\RegisterAppForUserAuth.ps1 -AppName ".NET Graph Tutorial" -SignInAudience <audience-value>

SignInAudience value	Who can sign in?
`AzureADMyOrg`	Only users in your Microsoft 365 organization
`AzureADMultipleOrgs`	Users in any Microsoft 365 organization (work or school accounts)
`AzureADandPersonalMicrosoftAccount`	Users in any Microsoft 365 organization (work or school accounts) and personal Microsoft accounts
`PersonalMicrosoftAccount`	Only personal Microsoft accounts

Copy the Client ID and Auth tenant values from the script output. You will need these values in the next step.
```
SUCCESS
Client ID: 2fb1652f-a9a0-4db9-b220-b224b8d9d38b
Auth tenant: common
```

Configure the sample

Open appsettings.json and update the values according to the following table.

Setting	Value
`clientId`	The client ID of your app registration
`tenantId`	If you chose the option to only allow users in your organization to sign in, change this value to your tenant ID. Otherwise leave as `common`.

Run the sample

In your command-line interface (CLI), navigate to the project directory and run the following commands.

dotnet restore
dotnet build
dotnet run
