Namespace: microsoft.graph

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.

Use this API to remove an owner from a Microsoft 365 group or a security group through the owners navigation property. When owners are assigned to a group, the last owner (a user object) of the group cannot be removed.

Note: For issues encountered when removing owner of a group associated with a team, see Known Issues.

Permissions

One of the following permissions is required to call this API. To learn more, including how to choose permissions, see Permissions.

Permission type	Permissions (from least to most privileged)
Delegated (work or school account)	Group.ReadWrite.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.
Application	Group.ReadWrite.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All

The following is an example of the request.

DELETE https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/groups/{id}/owners/{id}/$ref

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.


const options = {
	authProvider,
};

const client = Client.init(options);

await client.api('/groups/{id}/owners/{id}/$ref')
	.version('beta')
	.delete();
