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, provide an extensionProperty object with the following properties.

Property	Type	Description
dataType	String	Specifies the data type of the value the extension property can hold. Following values are supported. Binary - 256 bytes maximum Boolean DateTime - Must be specified in ISO 8601 format. Will be stored in UTC. Integer - 32-bit value. LargeInteger - 64-bit value. String - 256 characters maximum Not nullable. For multivalued directory extensions, these limits apply per value in the collection.
name	String	Name of the extension property. Not nullable.
isMultiValued	Boolean	Defines the directory extension as a multi-valued property. When true, the directory extension property can store a collection of objects of the dataType; for example, a collection of string types such as "extension_b7b1c57b532f40b8b5ed4b7a7ba67401_jobGroupTracker": ["String 1", "String 2"]. The default value is false.
targetObjects	String collection	The Microsoft Graph resources that can use the extension property. All values must be in PascalCase. The following values are supported. Not nullable. User Group AdministrativeUnit Application Device Organization

Response

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