Insufficient privileges to complete the operation

I'm trying to create a Power Automate custom connector for Microsoft Graph to read data from Intune.  I am not an Azure AD admin, but I am an Intune admin.  I've created an Azure application registration with privileges of User.Read, DeviceManagementManagedDevices.Read.All, Device.Read.All, Group.Read.All, User.Read.All, and WindowsUpdates.ReadWrite.All.  To grant those privileges, I had to get "admin consent" (which I did).  When I send requests via PostMan, I can read my own data, as well as data about another user.  However, when I send requests in the Power Automate connector, I am limited to only getting data about my own account.  In the "Identity Provider" section of the security configuration of my custom connector in Power Automate, I've tried both Active Directory and Generic Oauth 2 (to try to mimic the configuration that worked in PostMan).  However, no matter what I try in Power Automate, it appears that the data I can retrieve is limited by MY permissions, rather than the API permissions granted in the application registration.  Am I just not understanding the concept?

    I found the issue with my flow.  In Azure AD, I had requested "application" permissions for my app registration, not "delegated" permissions.  Delegated permissions are necessary to allow users (including Power Automate) to receive permission to use the app.
