domain: forceDelete

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Delete a domain using an asynchronous long-running operation.

Before performing this operation, you must update or remove any references to Exchange as the provisioning service.

The following actions are performed as part of this operation:

• Updates the userPrincipalName, mail, and proxyAddresses properties of users with references to the deleted domain to use the initial onmicrosoft.com domain.

• Updates the mail property of groups with references to the deleted domain to use the initial onmicrosoft.com domain.

• Updates the identifierUris property of applications with references to the deleted domain to use the initial onmicrosoft.com domain.

• If the number of objects to be renamed is greater than 1000, an error is returned.

• If one of the applications to be renamed is a multitenant app, an error is returned.

After the domain deletion completes, API operations for the deleted domain return an HTTP 404 status code. To verify deletion of a domain, you can perform a get domain operation.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

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)	Domain.ReadWrite.All	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Domain.ReadWrite.All	Not available.

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. Domain Name Administrator is the least privileged role supported for this operation.
