Files.ReadWrite.Selected

(Preview) Allows the app to read and write files that the user selects. The app has access for several hours after the user selects a file.

The Files.ReadWrite.Selected delegated permission is only valid on work or school accounts and is only exposed for working with Office 365 file handlers (v1.0). It should not be used for directly calling Microsoft Graph APIs.

Merill's Note

For an app to access data in Microsoft Graph, the user or administrator must grant it the permissions it needs. This article lists all the Microsoft Graph APIs and your tenant data that can be accessed by the application (vendor/developer) if you consent to the Files.ReadWrite.Selected permission.

If you need to create an audit report of the permissions granted to all the apps in your tenant, you can run the Export-MsIdAppConsentGrantReport command. See How To: Run a quick OAuth app audit of your tenant
