Create group

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.

Create a new group as specified in the request body. You can create one of the following groups:

Microsoft 365 group (unified group)
Security group

This operation returns by default only a subset of the properties for each group. These default properties are noted in the Properties section. To get properties that are not returned by default, do a GET operation and specify the properties in a $select OData query option.

Note: To create a team, first create a group then add a team to it, see create team.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

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

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 permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	Group.ReadWrite.All	Directory.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Group.Create	Directory.ReadWrite.All, Group.ReadWrite.All

For an app create a group with owners or members while it has the Group.Create permission, the app must have the privileges to read the object type that it wants to assign as the group owner or member. Therefore:

The app can assign itself as the group's owner or member.
To create the group with users as owners or members, the app must have at least the User.Read.All permission.
To create the group with other service principals as owners or members, the app must have at least the Application.Read.All permission.
To create the group with either users or service principals as owners or members, the app must have at least the Directory.Read.All permission.

HTTP request

POST /groups

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of the group object.

The following table lists the properties that are required when you create the group. Specify other writable properties as necessary for your group.

Property	Type	Description
displayName	string	The name to display in the address book for the group. Maximum length is 256 characters. Required.
mailEnabled	Boolean	Set to `true` for mail-enabled groups. Required.
mailNickname	string	The mail alias for the group, unique for Microsoft 365 groups in the organization. Maximum length is 64 characters. This property can contain only characters in the ASCII character set 0 - 127 except the following: `@ () \ [] " ; : <> , SPACE`. Required.
securityEnabled	Boolean	Set to `true` for security-enabled groups, including Microsoft 365 groups. Required. Note: Groups created using the Microsoft Entra admin center or the Azure portal always have securityEnabled initially set to `true`.

Important

Creating a group using the Group.Create application permission without specifying owners creates the group anonymously and the group isn't modifiable. Add owners to the group while creating it so the owners can manage the group.
Creating a Microsoft 365 group in an app-only context and without specifying owners creates the group anonymously. Doing so can result in the associated SharePoint Online site not being created automatically until further manual action is taken.
Creating a Microsoft 365 or security group in a delegated context, signed in as a non-admin user, and without specifying owners automatically adds the calling user as the group owner. An admin user is automatically added as the group owner of a Microsoft 365 group they create but not of a security group.
A non-admin user can't add themselves to the group owners collection. For more information, see the related known issue.
To following properties can't be set in the initial POST request and must be set in a subsequent PATCH request: allowExternalSenders, autoSubscribeNewMembers, hideFromAddressLists, hideFromOutlookClients, isSubscribedByMail, unseenCount.

Because the group resource supports extensions, you can add custom properties with your own data to the group while creating it.

groupTypes options

Use the groupTypes property to control the type of group and its membership, as shown.

Type of group	Assigned membership	Dynamic membership
Microsoft 365 (aka unified group)	`["Unified"]`	`["Unified","DynamicMembership"]`
Dynamic	`[]` (null)	`["DynamicMembership"]`

Response

If successful, 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.

Examples

Example 1: Create a Microsoft 365 group

The following example creates a Microsoft 365 group. Because the owners have not been specified, the calling user is automatically added as the owner of the group.

Request

The following example shows a 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.

The following example shows a request. The calling user must be assigned the RoleManagement.ReadWrite.Directory permission to set the isAssignableToRole property or update the membership of such groups.

A group with isAssignableToRole property set to true cannot be of dynamic membership type, its securityEnabled must be set to true, and visibility can only be Private.
