Namespace: microsoft.graph

Use this API to add a member (user, group, or device) to an administrative unit. Currently it's only possible to add one member at a time to an administrative unit.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

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

Permissions to add an existing user, group, or device

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

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be a member user or be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. Privileged Role Administrator is the least privileged role supported for this operation.

Permissions to create a new group

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

Important

To create a new group in an administrative unit, the calling principal must be assigned at least one of the following Microsoft Entra roles at the scope of the administrative unit:

Groups Administrator
User Administrator

For app-only scenarios - apart from these roles, the service principal requires additional permissions to read the directory. These permissions can be granted via assignment of supported Microsoft Entra roles, such the Directory Readers role; or they can be granted via Microsoft Graph application permissions that allow reading the directory, such as Directory.Read.All.

HTTP request

The following request adds an existing user, group, or device to the administrative unit.

POST /directory/administrativeUnits/{id}/members/$ref

The following request creates a new group within the administrative unit.

POST /directory/administrativeUnits/{id}/members

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-type	application/json. Required.

Request body

Adding an existing user, group, or device

In the request body, provide the id of a user, group, device, or directoryObject to be added.

Creating a new group

The following table shows the properties of the group resource to specify when you create a group in the administrative unit.

Property	Type	Description
displayName	string	The name to display in the address book for the group. Required.
description	string	A description for the group. Optional.
isAssignableToRole	Boolean	Set to true to enable the group to be assigned to a Microsoft Entra role. Privileged Role Administrator is the least privileged role to set the value of this property. Optional.
mailEnabled	Boolean	Set to true for mail-enabled groups. Required.
mailNickname	string	The mail alias for the group. These characters cannot be used in the mailNickName: `@()\[]";:.<>,SPACE`. Required.
securityEnabled	Boolean	Set to true for security-enabled groups, including Microsoft 365 groups. Required.
owners	directoryObject collection	This property represents the owners for the group at creation time. Optional.
members	directoryObject collection	This property represents the members for the group at creation time. Optional.
visibility	String	Specifies the visibility of a Microsoft 365 group. Possible values are: `Private`, `Public`, `HiddenMembership`, or empty (which is interpreted as `Public`).

Response

If successful, adding an existing object (using $ref) returns 204 No Content response code. It doesn't return anything in the response body.

When creating a new group (without $ref), this method returns a 201 Created response code and a group object in the response body. The response includes only the default properties of the group. You must supply the "@odata.type" : "#microsoft.graph.group" line in the request body to explicitly identify the new member as a group. A request body without the correct @odata.type returns a 400 Bad Request error message.
