Root-caused the recurring '365 suite isn't documented' pain: the apps are fine (tiered by privilege) but per-tenant consent is NOT uniform and there was no way to see a tenant's actual grant state. VWP had the Tenant Admin app but no SharePoint app-only role -> silent 401s until this session. - references/app-suite.md: authoritative, live-verified map of every app, App ID, and actually-granted permission per tier; the consent-drift problem + both fix methods (adminconsent URL, direct appRoleAssignment grant). - scripts/consent-audit.sh: audits a tenant (or --all) vs the baseline, grades GREEN/AMBER/RED, prints the exact fix per gap. Extends the assign-exchange-role --verify pattern to Graph scopes + SharePoint role + EXO role. Verified: BirthBio GREEN, VWP/Cascades AMBER (caught real drift - both missing grants). - SKILL.md: run consent-audit FIRST on any tenant task. Memory + errorlog correction.

ComputerGuru M365 App Suite — Authoritative Reference
This is the single source of truth for the ComputerGuru multi-tenant app suite: every app, its App ID, its ACTUAL granted permissions, the get-token.sh tiers, and — the part that keeps biting us — how per-tenant consent differs and how to audit + fix a tenant that only has PARTIAL consent.
Live-verified 2026-07-02 against Birth Biologic (fully-consented reference tenant). Anything here is re-checkable with the commands below; when a call fails, verify against reality before concluding "the tool can't do it."
The apps
All are multi-tenant app registrations owned in the ACG home tenant (azcomputerguru.com). A customer tenant gets a service principal for each app when it consents. The App ID is the same everywhere; the SP object id differs per tenant.

Live-verified permissions (application/app-only roles)
Decoded from real tokens on Birth Biologic (full consent). These are the roles each app is BUILT to hold. A given tenant may hold a SUBSET — see the audit section.

Exchange Online (app-only, EXO audience — role, not a Graph roles claim)
EXO app-only access is via the Exchange Administrator directory role assigned to the SP PLUS
full_access_as_app + Exchange.ManageAsApp app permissions. It does NOT show in a Graph
roles decode — it's an EXO RBAC assignment.
| Tier | EXO capability |
|---|---|
investigator-exo |
EXO read (Get-Mailbox, Get-InboxRule, Get-*) — needs Exchange Admin role on the Investigator SP |
exchange-op |
EXO write / all-access (Set-Mailbox, New/Remove-InboxRule, Add-MailboxPermission, InvokeCommand, move mail) — Exchange Admin role + full_access_as_app + Exchange.ManageAsApp on the Exchange Operator SP. This is the all-access mail tier; do NOT claim "no tier can write mail." |
THE THING THAT KEEPS BITING US: per-tenant consent is not uniform
Every failure of the form "we can't do X on tenant Y" has been one of these, NOT a missing capability:
- The app is consented but with an OLD/PARTIAL permission set. A tenant onboarded before a
scope was added to the app manifest keeps the old grant until re-consented. Example: VWP
(Valley Wide Plastering,
5c53ae9f-7071-4248-b834-8685b646450f) had the Tenant Admin app but NO SharePointSites.FullControl.All— every SharePoint call 401'd with a valid-looking token (aud= SharePoint,roles= empty). Fixed 2026-07-02 (see below). - The SharePoint secret-vs-cert gotcha. SharePoint app-only REJECTS a client_secret token
("Unsupported app only token").
get-token.shforces cert for thesharepoint*tiers; if you hand-roll, use the cert. - Not consented at all (AADSTS7000229 / AADSTS700016) — the tenant never onboarded the app. Use the admin-consent URL.
- EXO role not assigned — the app is consented but the SP lacks the Exchange Admin directory
role (EXO calls 403). Fix with
assign-exchange-role.sh.
Discipline: before telling the user "the tool can't do it", AUDIT the tenant.
Audit a tenant's real consent state
Just run the audit command — it decodes every app's actual grants, diffs against this baseline, grades GREEN/AMBER/RED, and prints the exact fix for each gap:
bash scripts/consent-audit.sh <domain|tenant-guid> # one tenant, full detail + fixes
bash scripts/consent-audit.sh --all # every tenant in references/tenants.md
Run it at the START of any tenant task (or on a schedule) so a partial-consent gap surfaces
up front, not as a 401 mid-task. It checks: investigator / exchange-op / user-manager /
tenant-admin Graph roles, the SharePoint app-only Sites.FullControl.All (cert), and the
EXO Exchange Administrator role — the full set that has ever caused a "can't do X" failure.
Manual equivalent (what the script does), if you want to eyeball one tier:
TEN=<tenant-guid>
for tier in investigator exchange-op-graph user-manager tenant-admin; do
echo "== $tier =="
rm -f /tmp/remediation-tool/$TEN/$tier.jwt
T=$(bash scripts/get-token.sh $TEN $tier 2>/dev/null | tail -1)
python - "$T" <<'PY'
import sys,base64,json
c=json.loads(base64.urlsafe_b64decode((lambda p:p+'='*(-len(p)%4))(sys.argv[1].split('.')[1])))
print(" roles:", ", ".join(sorted(c.get("roles",[]))) or "(NONE — not consented / partial)")
PY
done
# SharePoint (cert): roles should include Sites.FullControl.All
SP_RESOURCE_ENV=<name>-admin.sharepoint.com bash scripts/get-token.sh $TEN sharepoint-admin \
| tail -1 | cut -d. -f2 | ...decode roles...
An empty roles on a token whose aud is correct = the app is present but that permission
set was never granted on this tenant. That is the signal to fix consent, NOT to give up.
Fix partial consent — two methods
Method A — re-consent the whole app manifest (preferred, grants everything the app requests). A tenant Global Admin clicks:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant>/adminconsent?client_id=<app-id>
Grants ALL of the app's requiredResourceAccess. NOTE (VWP lesson): this reliably grants the Graph permissions but the SharePoint app-only role sometimes does NOT attach from the consent flow — verify with the audit above and use Method B for the leftover.
Method B — grant a specific missing app role directly (no user interaction; needs the tenant-admin token, which holds AppRoleAssignment.ReadWrite.All). This is how VWP's missing SharePoint role was fixed:
TEN=<tenant>; TA=$(bash scripts/get-token.sh $TEN tenant-admin | tail -1); G=https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0
# the SP receiving the role (e.g. Tenant Admin app):
RECIP=$(curl -s -G "$G/servicePrincipals" --data-urlencode "\$filter=appId eq '<app-id>'" -H "Authorization: Bearer $TA" | jq -r '.value[0].id')
# the resource SP that DEFINES the role (SharePoint = 00000003-0000-0ff1-ce00-...):
RES=$(curl -s -G "$G/servicePrincipals" --data-urlencode "\$filter=appId eq '00000003-0000-0ff1-ce00-000000000000'" --data-urlencode "\$select=id,appRoles" -H "Authorization: Bearer $TA")
RESID=$(echo "$RES" | jq -r '.value[0].id')
ROLE=$(echo "$RES" | jq -r '.value[0].appRoles[]|select(.value=="Sites.FullControl.All").id')
# grant it:
curl -s -X POST "$G/servicePrincipals/$RECIP/appRoleAssignments" -H "Authorization: Bearer $TA" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{\"principalId\":\"$RECIP\",\"resourceId\":\"$RESID\",\"appRoleId\":\"$ROLE\"}"
Only use Method B to complete an intent the customer already consented to (they clicked the consent link / authorized the access). It propagates to a fresh token within seconds.
Fix a missing EXO role: bash scripts/assign-exchange-role.sh <domain> (idempotent;
--all --verify to audit the fleet). EXO propagation is 15-60 min.
Per-tenant onboarding status (living matrix — update as verified)

Keep this matrix current — it is the answer to "is tenant X onboarded?" that we keep not having.
Gotchas index
- SharePoint app-only = CERT, not secret (Unsupported app only token).
get-token.shforces cert forsharepoint*. - Graph
GET /admin/sharepoint/settings403 — no app holdsSharePointTenantSettings.*. Read/write SP tenant settings via the CSOM/REST admin API (sharepoint-admin, Sites.FullControl.All). - adminconsent grants Graph but may skip the SharePoint app role — verify + Method-B the gap.
- JIT Privileged Auth Admin can't self-remove — reset-password leaves standing PAA on the Tenant Admin SP; a human GA removes it (or use PIM / a second principal).
- EXO role propagation 15-60 min; verify membership via
roleManagement/directory/roleAssignments(not the laggy directoryRoles/members list). - Mailbox app is ACG-internal only — never expect it on a customer tenant.
Adding a scope to an app manifest is a portal action (patch-tenant-admin-manifest.sh +
adminconsent); the multi-tenant app registrations themselves are managed manually, not via the tool.
