Is it expected that 'get_sharepoint_site' requires further admin permissions unlike the depracated 'sharepoint_site'?

'sharepoint_site' is deprecated but works for me because does not require further admin permissions unlike 'get_sharepoint_site'. 'sharepoint_site' will still be available in the future? Is this the expected behavior, why?

sharepoint_site just calls get_sharepoint_site under the hood, so it's all the same code ultimately. However, sharepoint_site uses different default permissions, as you can see by the signatures:

sharepoint_site <- function(site_url=NULL, site_id=NULL,
                            tenant=Sys.getenv("CLIMICROSOFT365_TENANT", "common"),
                            app=Sys.getenv("CLIMICROSOFT365_AADAPPID"),
                            scopes=".default",
                            ...)
# ...

get_sharepoint_site <- function(site_name=NULL, site_url=NULL, site_id=NULL,
                                tenant=Sys.getenv("CLIMICROSOFT365_TENANT", "common"),
                                app=Sys.getenv("CLIMICROSOFT365_AADAPPID"),
                                scopes=c("Group.ReadWrite.All", "Directory.Read.All",
                                         "Sites.ReadWrite.All", "Sites.Manage.All"),
                                token=NULL,
                                ...)
# ...

So to replicate the behaviour of the old function, pass scopes=".default" to get_sharepoint_site. Note that this will depend on the default permissions for the app ID you use, but if it worked before, it should continue to work.

Thank you for your answer. But get_sharepoint_sitestill does not work with scopes=".default", the error now is "Error: Site ... not found". I passed the same arguments in sharepoint_site and the deprecated command works.

I ran list_sharepoint_sites(tenant = "...", scopes = ".default") and it listed the sharepoint sites that I created but not the one I have access to that I required.
