@svermaak Unfortunately we don't have access to a muti-geo tenant to debug this issue on. As you have the access and the skills, please go ahead and file a pull request with a fix for it. Happy to review and merge it.

As mentioned , we don't have access to multi-geo tenant, so we can't debug/fix this.

Something you can try is using delegated permissions. Saw a note in the link below:

Hopefully that works for you. Suggesting it since we use these methods under the hood and might help in your case.
