[BUG]Request-PnPPersonalSite: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.

[jknode]

Notice

Many bugs reported are actually related to the PnP Framework which is used behind the scenes. Consider carefully where to report an issue:

1. Are you using Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate or Get-PnPSiteTemplate? The issue is most likely related to the Provisioning Engine. The Provisioning engine is not located in the PowerShell repo. Please report the issue here: https://github.com/pnp/pnpframework/issues.
2. Is the issue related to the cmdlet itself, its parameters, the syntax, or do you suspect it is the code of the cmdlet that is causing the issue? Then please continue reporting the issue in this repo.
3. If you think that the functionality might be related to the underlying libraries that the cmdlet is calling (We realize that might be difficult to determine), please first double check the code of the cmdlet, which can be found here: https://github.com/pnp/powershell/tree/master/src/Commands. If related to the cmdlet, continue reporting the issue here, otherwise report the issue at https://github.com/pnp/pnpframework/issues

I'm getting the same error. I registered app via Entra ID and also assigned permissions via appinv.aspx and connected with client secret according to documentation.

I'm also seeing this error. I followed the docs and confirmed the permissions are configured as required.
