Remove deviceTemplate owner

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

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.

Remove an owner from a deviceTemplate object. Owners can self-remove themselves. As an owner, no other administrator roles are necessary to create, update, delete the devices from this template, as well as to add or remove template owners.

All devices linked to the device template must be first deleted before deleting the template itself. Only registered owners of the template can perform this operation.

Permissions

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 permission	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	DeviceTemplate.ReadWrite.All	Directory.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	DeviceTemplate.ReadWrite.All	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:

• Cloud Device Administrator
• IoT Device Administrator
• Users - owners of the device template object

HTTP request

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
