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.
Convert an externally authenticated user into an internal user. The user is able to sign into the host tenant as an internal user and access resources as a member. For more information about this conversion, see Convert external users to internal users.
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)
User-ConvertToInternal.ReadWrite.All
User.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)
Not supported.
Not supported.
Application
User-ConvertToInternal.ReadWrite.All
User.ReadWrite.All
In delegated scenarios, the calling user must have at least the User AdministratorMicrosoft Entra roles.
HTTP request
POST /users/{usersId}/convertExternalToInternalMemberUser
Required for users whose authentication is managed in the cloud.
userPrincipalName
String
Required for cloud users to change the userPrincipalName. Not required for on-premises synced users, as their userPrincipalName is managed on-premises.
Response
If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and conversionUserDetails response object.
Examples
Example 1: Convert a cloud user and require them to reset their password on next sign in
