Office 365 - Access User Profile -Error: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation

Question

Hi,
I am using a console application to read the user profile data in office 365.
I am getting the error as "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation", while running the console.
I have used the below code:
static void Main(string[] args)
Uri test_targetSite = new Uri(test_siteurl);
string decryptedPwd = Decryptdata(password);
foreach (char c in decryptedPwd)
securePassword.AppendChar(c);
SharePointOnlineCredentials onlineCredentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(login, securePassword);
//getting UserProfile Service
TestAdminUserProfileService.UserProfileService admin_ups = new TestAdminUserProfileService.UserProfileService();
admin_ups.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
string authCookieValue = onlineCredentials.GetAuthenticationCookie(test_targetSite);
admin_ups.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
admin_ups.CookieContainer.Add(new Cookie("FedAuth", authCookieValue.TrimStart("SPOIDCRL=".ToCharArray()), String.Empty, test_targetSite.Authority));
// Gets the first profile
GetUserProfileByIndexResult pResults = admin_ups.GetUserProfileByIndex(-1);
int totalUsers = (int)admin_ups.GetUserProfileCount();
int counter = 0;
//Loop through all UserProfiles and Add to custom Group
while (pResults.UserProfile != null)
try
// Get the next profile
pResults = admin_ups.GetUserProfileByIndex(Convert.ToInt32(pResults.NextValue));
How to fix this for Office 365?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
1. How to check, which is the App pool account for office 365 portal?
2. Which account has access to user-profile service application? if yes, how to verify the same?
3. How to access Manage service applications in office365? Like in SharePoint 2010 or 2013
Go to SharePoint Central Admin > Application Management > Manage Service Application
Thanks
