403 Forbidden error while calling the create team Graph API

Question

Hi,

I have been using the create team API, it was working fine couple days back, there was no change in permissions or even in the code. Since 2 days we are facing 403 forbidden error.

URL:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams

with request payload as mentioned below:

{
    "email address removed for privacy reasons": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teamsTemplates('standard')",
    "displayName": "Architecture test Team",
    "description": "The team for those in architecture design."
}
I have provided the required permissions for both application as well as delegated. Please find screenshot of the same
The response is:
{
    "error": {
        "code": "Forbidden",
        "message": "Failed to execute Templates backend request CreateTeamFromTemplateRequest.

Hi @Arohi Deshpande

• Make sure the logged in user is a work/school account and not a personal account.
• Make sure the logged in user has an O365 license.

Refresh the browser page after meeting the above requirements, and then try calling again.

Hope this helps.
