Use this API to create a new setting, based on the templates available in groupSettingTemplates. These settings can be at the tenant-level or at the group level. The creation request must provide settingValues for all the settings defined in the template. For group-specific settings, only the setting governing whether members of a group can invite guest users can be set. This will govern this behavior once the ability to add guest users to a group is generally available.

For a list of templates and the properties they support in v1.0, use a groupSettingTemplate query (For beta endpoints, call directorySettingTemplates.)

SDK sample code

GraphServiceClient graphClient = new GraphServiceClient( authProvider );

var groupSetting = new GroupSetting
{
	DisplayName = "displayName-value",
	TemplateId = "templateId-value",
	Values = new List<SettingValue>()
	{
		new SettingValue
		{
			Name = "name-value",
			Value = "value-value"
		}
	}
};

await graphClient.GroupSettings
	.Request()
	.AddAsync(groupSetting);

const options = {
	authProvider,
};

const client = Client.init(options);

const groupSetting = {
  displayName: "displayName-value",
  templateId: "templateId-value",
  values: [
    {
      name: "name-value",
      value: "value-value"
    }
  ]
};

let res = await client.api('/groupSettings')
	.post({groupSetting : groupSetting});
