Permissions for Microsoft Graph
The permissions needed vary depending on whether or not you enable SSO and how you want List Expansion to be handled (Client-Side, Server-Side, or both). Each possible configuration is outlined below:
OAUTH (SSO) login to PoliteMail
Small lists (< 1000 members) can be expanded via MAPI in Outlook Desktop.

full_access_as_app (Single Mailbox Application Scope) | Application |
NOTE: You may notice that the description for the full_access_as_app permission says it grants "full access to all mailboxes". It is recommended to scope the full_access_as_app permission down to a single mailbox which makes it equivalent to a “service account”, as described in this Microsoft help article.
