Tip : Quickly resolving error while login to Microsoft Graph Explorer – AADSTS50105 – Your administrator has configured the application Graph Explorer (”) to block users unless they are specifically granted (‘assigned’) access to the application

Background :

  • As I am trying to sign in with my account I am getting an following error

Issue :

AADSTS50105 – Your administrator has configured the application Graph Explorer (”) to block users unless they are specifically granted (‘assigned’) access to the application

The signed in user ‘prasham@knowledgejunction1.onmicrosoft.com’ is blocked because they are not a direct member of a group with access, nor had access directly assigned by an administrator.

Please contact your administrator to assign access to this application
