Create a new setting based on the templates available in groupSettingTemplates. These settings can be at the tenant-level or at the group level.
Group settings apply to only Microsoft 365 groups. The template named Group.Unified can be used to configure tenant-wide Microsoft 365 group settings, while the template named Group.Unified.Guest can be used to configure group-specific settings.
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)
Directory.ReadWrite.All
Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)
Not supported.
Not supported.
Application
Directory.ReadWrite.All

Important
In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation.
Read basic properties on setting templates and settings - Microsoft Entra Joined Device Local Administrator, Directory Readers, Global Reader
Manage all group/directory settings - Directory Writers
Manage global and local settings for groups; manage Group.Unified.Guest and Group.Unified settings - Groups Administrator
In the request body, supply a JSON representation of groupSetting object. The display name, templateId, and description are inherited from the referenced groupSettingTemplates object. Only the value property can be changed from the default value.
The following properties are required when creating the groupSetting object.
Parameter
Type
Description
templateId
String
Unique identifier for the tenant-level groupSettingTemplates object used to create this group-level settings object. Read-only.
