    .SYNOPSIS
    Authenticates to the Graph API via the Microsoft.Graph.Authentication module.
    
    .DESCRIPTION
    The Connect-ToGraph cmdlet is a wrapper cmdlet that helps authenticate to the Intune Graph API using the Microsoft.Graph.Authentication module. It leverages an Azure AD app ID and app secret for authentication or user-based auth.
    
    .PARAMETER Tenant
    Specifies the tenant (e.g. contoso.onmicrosoft.com) to which to authenticate.
    
    .PARAMETER AppId
    Specifies the Azure AD app ID (GUID) for the application that will be used to authenticate.
    
    .PARAMETER AppSecret
    Specifies the Azure AD app secret corresponding to the app ID that will be used to authenticate.

    .PARAMETER Scopes
    Specifies the user scopes for interactive authentication.
    
    .EXAMPLE
    Connect-ToGraph -TenantId $tenantID -AppId $app -AppSecret $secret
    
    -#>
