Microsoft API permissions missing - What does it mean?

Hi GlennSen,
thanks for the link to the KB article. I have read the instructions and checked the permissions for the sync app. The permissions in Azure for Sophos Central Synchronization were already set correctly in our case before.  Nevertheless, we received the notification by mail on Saturday and for the second time this morning.

Azure Sync in Sophos Central is working 

What can we do?

Same here.Same two messages
Also german system, if this makes any differnce for Sophos Central.

Having same issue (English system). Added in the new Graph API access Friday per the documentation. Getting "Microsoft API permissions are missing" alerts when it syncs successfully.

If all steps in the document mentioned by Glenn have been followed, but you're continuing to receive alerts regarding this API permission, I recommend selecting "Mark as Acknowledged" as shown in the KBA linked below.
