Calling MS Graph API from Canvas Apps by using Power Automate and HTTP Request

Recently, while working on some requirements, I noticed that one of the solutions that the company implemented was to replicate the Azure Groups and Members from AD into their Dataverse environment. This seemed to me to be unnecessary, but sometimes due to security restrictions, this might be the only way.

After further investigation, the only requirement from the business was to check whether particular users belonged to groups, and there was no immediate requirement of having the AD Members stored in our Dataverse environment, especially due to the fact that we would have to continuously sync between AD and Dataverse.

I offered the business an alternative. What if you had an application where you could specify the name of the group and it would show you all of the users that belong to it, or even better, specify the user and it will let you know all the group the user belongs to. This seemed to be like a no-brainer, and from our point of view an easy solution especially since we finally got access to use the Graph API (for Users and Groups only).
