Microsoft Graph API - How to create multiple users at once - microsoft-graph-api

I know that the json format for creating 1 user is:
{
"accountEnabled": true,
"displayName": "displayName-value",
"mailNickname": "mailNickname-value",
"userPrincipalName": "upn-value#tenant-value.onmicrosoft.com",
"passwordProfile" : {
"forceChangePasswordNextSignIn": true,
"password": "password-value"
}
}
Is there a way to create multiple users at once with 1 API call?

Yes, you can use the Graph $batch feature to bundle up to 20 requests in a single call.
Have a look at this sample app that implements batching and parallelization to get more throughput through Graph.
A method that creates a lot of users:

How can I filter calendar events with a specific email address or name using Microsoft graph api and OData?

I'm using the Microsoft graph api to fetch calendar events.
Now I would like to only fetch events where one of the attendees has a specific name or email address.
An example response describing such an event is
{
"subject": "General meeting",
"attendees": [
{
"emailAddress": {
"name": "Peter Pan",
"address": "peter.pan#neverland.org"
}
},
{
"emailAddress": {
"name": "Captain Hook",
"address": "captain.hook#neverland.org"
}
}
]
}
According to Microsofts documentation the likely way to achieve this is using OData and the any operator. However I can't find a way to access nested properties like name and address using query parameters.
I was hoping I could do something like this
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/calendarview?startdatetime=2022-01-01T00:00:00.000Z&enddatetime=2022-31-01T00:00:00.000Z&$select=attendees,subject&$filter=attendees/any(var:var/emailAddress/address eq 'peter.pan#neverland.org')
but using subparam (emailAddress/address) like that leads to bad request.
If the emailAddress field was just an actual email and not another entity, filtering would work.
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/calendarview?startdatetime=2022-01-01T00:00:00.000Z&enddatetime=2022-31-01T00:00:00.000Z&$select=attendees,subject&$filter=attendees/any(var:var/emailAddress eq 'peter.pan#neverland.org')
Is it possible to achieve what I want?
According this comment Graph API doesn't support drilling down multiple levels of relationships.

Microsoft Graph translateExchangeIds not returning the same id as EWS

I am working with both EWS and the Graph API.
I would like to create events (online meetings with skype/teams) in an calendar that is already available via EWS.
To match the calendar to the one available via Graph API i try to use https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-translateexchangeids
The calendar i created has this id when returned by the FindFolder call:
<t:FolderId Id="AAMkAGNiY2YxMjY3LTUxYjgtNGI1Yy1hOTM2LTU4MTM5OTZiNjdjYgAuAAAAAABW2gY0kRG1SqggDTNZN6i8AQAPJkKZ1XJkQ6huFmcVa6XaAAGixNZ3AAA=" ChangeKey="..."/>
<t:DisplayName>Test</t:DisplayName>
I create a request to the graph api:
{
"inputIds": [
"AAMkAGNiY2YxMjY3LTUxYjgtNGI1Yy1hOTM2LTU4MTM5OTZiNjdjYgAuAAAAAABW2gY0kRG1SqggDTNZN6i8AQAPJkKZ1XJkQ6huFmcVa6XaAAGixNZ3AAA="
],
"sourceIdType": "ewsId",
"targetIdType": "restId"}
and get the result
{
"#odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#Collection(microsoft.graph.convertIdResult)",
"value": [
{
"sourceId": "AAMkAGNiY2YxMjY3LTUxYjgtNGI1Yy1hOTM2LTU4MTM5OTZiNjdjYgAuAAAAAABW2gY0kRG1SqggDTNZN6i8AQAPJkKZ1XJkQ6huFmcVa6XaAAGixNZ3AAA=",
"targetId": "AAMkAGNiY2YxMjY3LTUxYjgtNGI1Yy1hOTM2LTU4MTM5OTZiNjdjYgAuAAAAAABW2gY0kRG1SqggDTNZN6i8AQAPJkKZ1XJkQ6huFmcVa6XaAAGixNZ3AAA="
}
]
}
However, if i call https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/calendars i get a different id
"id": "AAMkAGNiY2YxMjY3LTUxYjgtNGI1Yy1hOTM2LTU4MTM5OTZiNjdjYgBGAAAAAABW2gY0kRG1SqggDTNZN6i8BwBIq5JjIBY-RqWQllrF0GSkAAAAB353AAAPJkKZ1XJkQ6huFmcVa6XaAAGixNowAAA=",
"name": "Test",
Is there a way to match the (ews) calendar i already have to the one returned by the Graph API?
This is a shot in the dark, because I've never dug this deeply into the weeds on the Graph Ids, but you might try calling Graph with the header that selects "immutable ids." I tried to find some details on what this actually means without much luck.
The header is:
request.Header("Prefer", "IdType=\"ImmutableId\"");
HTH, and if not, sorry for guessing.

Using filter on /me/joinedTeams not working

I'm implementing a search for a user's joined Teams unsing Microsoft Graph. The idea is to make a call to /beta/me/joinedTeams and use a ?$filter=startswith(description,'searchterm') filter.
So for example when I try the request https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/joinedTeams?$filter=startswith(description,'Business') in the Microsoft Graph Explorer it ignores the filter and I get these results:
{
"#odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/$metadata#groups",
"value": [
{
"id": "02bd9fd6-8f93-4758-87c3-1fb73740a315",
"displayName": "HR Taskforce",
"description": "Welcome to the HR Taskforce team.",
"isArchived": false
},
{
"id": "13be6971-79db-4f33-9d41-b25589ca25af",
"displayName": "Business Development",
"description": "Welcome to the BizDev team.",
"isArchived": false
},
{
"id": "8090c93e-ba7c-433e-9f39-08c7ba07c0b3",
"displayName": "X1050 Launch Team",
"description": "Welcome to the team that we've assembled to launch our product.",
"isArchived": false
}
]
}
Am I doing something wrong with my request?
Your request is right, but the joinedTeams does not support filtering or ordering results. So although we pass the filter/orderby parameter, when Microsoft Graph sees a query parameter it doesn't expect, it simply ignores the unknown filter/orderby parameter and returns an unfiltered/default-sorted result.
I have tried the api with odata query parameters for trial O365 account and real account.
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/concepts/query_parameters
Not all parameters are supported across all Microsoft Graph APIs, and
support might differ significantly between the v1.0 and beta
endpoints.
The only suggestion for you is to vote up the existing feature request in User Voice or submit a new one.
Thanks for pointing this out. As Seiya points out, /me/joinedTeams does not support the OData query parameters. The documentation suggested otherwise, I've made a doc fix that should propagate in the next day or two.

Microsoft graph batch requests

I have the following requirement :
create an office 365 unified group
add members to it
add each of the members to the accepted senders list of the group
fetch the following IDS for local storage (sql server)
The group ID
The group's main thread ID
The group's main planner plan ID
The group's main planner bucket ID
Can I batch this using the following : https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/concepts/json_batching
The way I am doing it, I have a request object (in the JSON batch) for each api request.
Logically, I can't proceed with any of my requests without having created the group. So the first one will be the POST to the groups endpoint.
What I would like is a way for subsequent requests to use the newly created group ID to, for example, add members.
Is that doable in the same batch (same JSON batch object)?
If yes, how?
You can use dependsOn to sequence requests as specific order but it will be easier to run them as separated batches, one after another.
Create group
Add members
...
For adding users in a batch try json like this (replace id's with group and userIds):
`
{
"requests": [
{
"id": "1",
"method": "POST",
"url": "/v1.0/groups/{id}/members/$ref"
"body": {
"#odata.id": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/directoryObjects/{id}"
}
}
{
"id": "2",
"method": "POST",
"url": "/v1.0/groups/{id}/members/$ref"
"body": {
"#odata.id": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/directoryObjects/{id}"
}
}
]
}

Microsoft API Graph create distribution list

I try to create a distribution list on Office365 with the Microsoft API Graph.
For that, I do a POST request on "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/blih.bocal.org/groups" with json parameters :
{
"description": "My description",
"displayName": "testlist",
"groupTypes": ['Unified'],
"mailEnabled": True,
"mailNickname": "testlist",
"securityEnabled": False
}
It creates an office365 group or a security group with some little changes, but impossible to create a distribution list. Via the web, I can do it and when I get it with the API, the parameter "groupTypes" is empty.
What's bad on my request or how to do it (if it's possible) ?
http://graph.microsoft.io/en-us/docs/api-reference/v1.0/api/group_post_groups
You can create Unified Group or Security Group or Dynamic Group alone with this API. Refer the documentation in the above URL.
