There is a function for enrolling a user in a group: POST /d2l/api/lp/(D2LVERSION: version)/(D2LID: orgUnitId)/groupcategories/(D2LID: groupCategoryId)/groups/(D2LID: groupId)/enrollments/, but I haven't been able to find a function for removing a user from a group. How do I do that?
Unfortunately, there is a gap in the REST routes in this area for currently released D2L Platforms (up to v10 SP1). It is bit extreme, but prior to an api update, one work around would be to retreive the group enrollments and save them, then delete and recreate the group and enroll everyone except the delete target.

I created a Group using
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/group-post-groups?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
and then used
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/team-put-teams?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
to create a Team. Now I am facing issue when adding a plan using a Planner app
"Failed to create the plan."
How I can fix this issue?
In my investigations, I found that the other team members are able to create plans. As an owner of the team, I am not able to create them. if I am trying graph API I'm getting an error:
You do not have the required permissions to access this item, or the item may not exist.
I'm glad you came right and that I was able to help. I'm updating the answer so that it's more clear on a few points:
Technically, this actually has nothing to do with Teams at all, it relates to Office 365 Groups, which forms the core underneath Teams, Planner, and more. You actually link in your question to the Groups docs, incidentally. I've updated the question title to reflect this.
I haven't tested this exactly, but I doubt that it needs your account exactly in the Owners and Members - I suspect the main constraint is that there needs to be at least one person in each of those roles (that means there has to be at least one Owner and at least one Member). Arguably, this is actually a bug in Planner, but it was maybe never detected by Microsoft because if you create a Group from the web interface, it automatically puts your user in as Owner and Member.
If you do put your own account into both positions, but that's not what you want long term, you could probably just take them out after creating the Planner plan.
Just a reminder that best practice is to have more than one owner of a Group, in case/when the original Owner is not/no longer available.
It's fixed after adding the creator of teams as a member too. So I had to add the user who is creating Teams in Team members too.
I made sure that there was another owner on the Team, demoted and removed the owner and the re-added them to the team. This resolved the issue that I had with multiple teams
I have been converting access to Team projects using Active Directory groups.
I am a project collection admin and we host around 40 odd team projects.
On all the other proects everything is fine, I have been able to add all the AD groups I needed to the Various TFS groups that exist in a Team Project (Contributors, Readers etc).
When I come to the problem project I can see the add button, and I am able to search for and select the AD group I want, but when I click save, I see a red banner message with the text:
Unable to add members to this group.
Failed to resolve the specified groups to join.
You do not have sufficient permissions to add members to the following groups:
[Team Project]\Build Administrators
I have looked at the oi and all I can see around the time of the issue are activities reporting a 200 response.
I am looking at the api and the database to see what I can do but not sure where to start. I thought I might be able to see something about security but it is asking for a guid that I am not sure how to get hold of.
Looking at the database I thought there might be a security table, but not sure where to start.
I'm going to keep looking at what to do, so I am going to keep this updated
update 2019-03-27
We have a support call open with Microsoft, I still have issues managing the teams, but I have been able to update the team via the Apis, I even found a useful little CLI tool to help with the tasks I needed to do.
In my case, I was trying to add someone to a group that I was in - which I don't need since I'm a Project Administrator. Once I took myself out of the group, I was able to add others again.
Got the answer and the fix worked.
After a lot of back and forth, sending files and running some tfssecurity queries, they were able to determine the problem.
What I had done was add the domain User AD containing our project collection admin account in as a project reader, as the security on tfs works on a least level principle it was then applying a deny permision on my Project collection admin account, by simply removing the AD group from the reader level, which I was able to do, the ablity to manage the securities came back.
I havent been able to find the specific group that I belonged to that then set the deny, but there is no denying that removing the AD group from the reader level fixed the issue.
From what i've been able to discern so far, Firebase/Firestore seem like the perfect platform to use for an app I am writing. However I can't quite connect all the dots when trying to design my backend. I am hoping that someone will be able to give answer a couple of basic questions about the use of FB/FS.
With my app, a user will be able to share a small piece of data with a select group of friends. ie if the data is to be a To-Do list, the user would create the list on his device (iphone only) and then invite a small group of friends (probably less than 10) to share that data. The friends would have read-only access by default, however, the user can assign any number of them to be "admins" which would allow them read/write permission. When any changes occur to the data, all "friends" who have access to the data will be notified (by some means - push notifications etc). They can manually sync or setup the app to automatically sync. It seems like FB/FS can be used for this right out of the box. However there are a couple of concepts that I can't get my head around.
The database I setup is accessible by ALL users of my app by default. It's not clear (at least to me) how I would set it up so when a user creates (in this case) a to-do list and invites 5 friends, only those 5 friends can access or even know about that data. This is main stumbling block in my development path.
Regarding invitations. I read in the FB/FS documentation that invitations and notifications are among the many features available. I'm not clear on how this will work if a) the recipient doesn't have my app installed and b) how the inviter would get feedback when the invitation was accepted or declined.
Any guidance that anyone is willing to share to help me get started will be a huge help and will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You can create new privates collections inside the main collection, and set different rules for access.

In the past I was reading a list of plans of current user with this REST call of the beta-API:
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/plans
In July 2017 the planner API was released and there are also some minor changes to the endpoints, so the REST call in the V1.0-API now is:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/planner/plans
Unfortunately I do not receive all my plans with that endpoint. Apparently I only get plans that exist for a long time, but any newly created plans are not visible. I tried a lot of actions on my plans like subscribing to, assigning tasks to me, favorize the plan in planner hub, making a plan public or private, but nothing helps, new plans remain invisible in the API.
Can anybody explain what the new endpoint exactly does? The documentation for List plans is not very helpfull.
Can anybody explain how I can a list of all plans (title and id) that I am owner or member of?
The only work-around I have found so far is:
1) Read all unified groups
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/memberOf/$/microsoft.graph.group?$filter=groupTypes/any(a:a eq 'unified')
2) for each group: read the planner plan for that group
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/<id>/planner/plans
But that would require one request per group, makeing performance horrible on tenants with dozens of groups.
This API returns plans that have been shared with the current user. Plans can be shared with a user by adding the user's id to sharedWith property of planDetails (Edit: currently users do not have permissions to add or remove others from this list). This is a separate set of users from group membership and does not allow access to data for shared users. Instead, the users will have access if they are group members, and lose access if they are removed from the group.
More information and a sample for updating plan details can be found here.
Additionally, you can submit feedback about the API (and other Planner functionality) here.
I have an application with chatting functionality which support group chat also. In my app i have many public groups, now i want to clear the MUC history of an existing public group without destroy that group.
Actually this group have many users and i don't want to miss anyone of them and i can't be force to anyone of them to join this group again.
I can try history_size: 0 but the problem for this is, group history will never come and that is not my requirement. I just want to clear group history once.
I have read on a link that Ejabberd doesn't provide any method for the room admins to clean the message queue. Is this true?
Yes, to clean history, you should develop and add a new command in MUC admin API: https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/ejabberdctl/muc-admin/
