They are pretty great, but it can sure lead to a yak shaving situation where I spend the next two weeks writing skills.

Control Graph Mail.Send Permission with RBAC for Applications The temptation to use the Mail.Send application permission can lead PowerShell developers into trouble because the permission allows access to all mailboxes.
