Attempt to create Azure AD Application programmatically failing

Attempting Applying permissions programmatically as per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/register-app. I have created the AD Application, and assigned the permissions required. I really want to automate consent.

 

I have successfully created the application, and the service principal. In posting to https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/OAuth2PermissionGrants with body:

{
    "principalId":  "<from AD user obtained via Get-AzureRMADUser>",
    "clientId":  "<service principal id from above created service principal>",
    "resourceId":  "c78b2585-1df6-41de-95f7-dc5aeb7dc98e",
    "consentType":  "Principal",
    "expiryTime":  "2019-12-12T22:04:37Z",
    "startTime":  "2017-12-12T22:04:37Z",
    "scope":  "Dataset.ReadWrite.All Dashboard.Read.All Report.Read.All Group.Read Group.Read.All Content.Create Metadata.View_Any Dataset.Read.All Data.Alter_Any"
}

 

I am getting the following error:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "Request_ResourceNotFound",
    "message": "Resource 'c78b2585-1df6-41de-95f7-dc5aeb7dc98e' does not exist or one of its queried reference-property objects are not present.",
    "innerError": {
      "request-id": "55f8836a-ec3c-4581-8122-82352b2411c1",
      "date": "2017-12-12T22:04:35"
    }
  }
}

@trevorgermain

Your question is actually more related to Azure AD. I've consulted some Azure AD dev guy, the answer is, it is not possible to automate consent. You can either consent in a pop up window or in Azure portal. For better response, I'd suggest your post in the dedicated AAD forum.
