Article
08/23/2023

Namespace: microsoft.graph.externalConnectors

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Create a new externalGroupMember object.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	❌

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	ExternalItem.ReadWrite.OwnedBy	ExternalItem.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	ExternalItem.ReadWrite.OwnedBy	ExternalItem.ReadWrite.All

HTTP request

POST /external/connections/{connectionsId}/groups/{externalGroupId}/members

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of the externalGroupMember object.

You can specify the following properties when creating an externalGroupMember.

Property	Type	Description
id	String	The unique `id` of the member. It would be the objectId in case of Microsoft Entra users or groups and the externalGroupId in case of external groups. Required.
type	microsoft.graph.externalConnectors.externalGroupMemberType	The type of member added to the external group. Possible values are: `user` or `group` when the identitySource is `azureActiveDirectory` and just `group` when the identitySource is `external`. Required.
identitySource	microsoft.graph.externalConnectors.identitySourceType	The identity source that the member belongs to. Possible values are: `azureActiveDirectory`, `external`. Required.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and an externalGroupMember object in the response body.
