MgGraph insufficient privileges problem

Hi,

I'm starting to migrate my PowerShell scripts to use the new Microsoft Graph module.
I'm facing problems when it comes to update some user information (I was able to create a user but can't update it?).

Here are the screenshots:

API Permissions

Context

User created

Can't update user password

Is there some docs explaining which permissions are needed for every cmdlet??

UPDATE:
I have managed by removing all those API permissions and just adding the app as Global Administrator on Azure Active Directory roles assignments.
So, what's the point on having to set permissions that allows to create but not update a user property?
I know that this is not the best way, but it is what is allowing me to continue to work.

    I have found this cmdlet that shows permissions needed: 

    Find-MgGraphCommand -Command Update-MgUser | Select -First 1 -ExpandProperty Permissions
