403 Error When Adding Members to Team via Graph API

Samee 5

I am encountering a 403 permission error when attempting to add a member to a team using the Graph API. This issue started recently, even though it previously worked without any problems. The setup is identical to the one described in this discussion.

Any assistance in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Samee

Teams tag is mainly focused on the general issue of Microsoft Teams troubleshooting. According to your description, your question is related to Teams API development, so I will also add Teams development tag to your thread. Thanks for your understanding!

Hi Samee - Could you please the request-id and timestamp details of a recent repro along with the API calls made. You can also share above details here or send at microsoftteamsdev@microsoft.com.

Here is the request-id and timestamp details:

    date: 'Thu, 09 Jan 2025 10:50:33 GMT'
  }

Here is the API call made:

console.log("Adding user to team...");
    const conversationMember = {
      "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.aadUserConversationMember",
      roles: ["member"],
      "user@odata.bind": `https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users('${userId}')`,
    };
    await graphClient.api(`/teams/${team.id}/members`).post(conversationMember);

I don't get this error when I create the office account, wait about 35 seconds and then add the member to the team. I never used to get this error before, only recently.
