hello @pennyhoho117 

In Azure App Registration, the “Admin Consent Required” setting for API permissions determines whether a specific permission requires approval from an administrator before it can be granted to an application.

Admin consent ensures that only authorized administrators can approve permissions that could expose sensitive data or perform critical actions

When to say yes

If your app will be used by a service principal (e.g., for automated tasks or backend processes), you must grant admin consent for `Dataset.Read.All` because application permissions always require it.
• If your app uses delegated permissions (acting on behalf of signed-in users), admin consent may not be necessary unless the permission is high-privilege.
