Delta is, by default, a user-scoped API to drive sync-like behavior. It scopes its results down to the set of changes which are definitely impactful to the caller. It filters out changes which it knows are irrelevant to the caller. When the API cannot definitely determine relevance cheaply, e.g. when it needs to make a full permission enumeration to verify, it will include the result, even though it might not be relevant to the caller.
Delta attempts to scope permission-based changes to those relevant to the caller. If the caller’s access wasn’t altered by the permission change, the item may not be included in the delta results.
Clients which are trying to enumerate all permission changes should make sure the follow the recommendations in aka.ms/scanguidance. Namely, there are specific authentication requirements and specific Prefer headers that need to be provided, and failure to do so will result in permission changes being scoped down.
The only way to receive the complete set of changes is to use app-only authentication with the Sites.FullControl.All scope and pass header “Prefer”=”deltashowsharingchanges,hierarchicalsharing”.
Steps:
1] Create an App in AAD with Sites.FullControl.All Application permission, see screen shot below:
2] Sample powershell script to generate the Access token and the delta token link:
