How did LinkedIn get the permission to access my AAD profile?
Hi All, I've just come across this thread.
We identified a bug in the profile user interface that incorrectly displayed a settings control for a feature that is not available. No permissions were granted. The option is not functional and there is no effect if you attempted to take action. We've rolled back the UI changes and removed the button.

I've updated my blog post with that info. Still, nobody developed that UI element, wrote the text for it, and shipped code, for a non-existent feature. Obviously something is being developed. I hope when it resurfaces there will be a lot more transparency.

Rather, someone obviously developed the code with the full knowledge of some managers and introduced the code into the live version so that it appeared in production. Clearly, someone knows what is happening. If not, can we then assume that any Microsoft developer can have a random thought that they'd like to do something and just go ahead and create a new option in a shipping product?
