App-Only User.ReadBasic.All Permission is now available

User.ReadBasic.All allows the app to retrieve basic user properties like ID, display name, first and last name, email address, and photo. Today only delegated User.ReadBasic.All is available. We heard customer feedback to enable app-only User.ReadBasic.All permission as well, to limit their app access to only basic user properties.
