GRAPH - Add/remove user to distribution list
Good evening, for about a week, through a small program that uses graph api, the addition / removal of users from distribution lists no longer works; do you have any idea why? I have many processes that use graph api and they never gave me problems; we thought it was a temporary problem, but after a week it still doesn't work (attached the error)
Hi micheleariis,
It is not possible to add user via the Graph API to a distribution list.
Add members - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Docs
Removing people is however possible
Remove member - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Docs
Delete https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/groups/{group id}/members/{user id}
One of the option you could consider is to use the Exchange online PowerShell command.
Install-module ExchangeOnlineManagement Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement Connect-ExchangeOnline Get-DistributionGroup #Copy name of distribution list Get-DistributionGroupMember -Identity "<DL name>" Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity "<DL name>" -Member "<email user>"Kind regards,
Rene
- Through powershell there is no problem, I would like to be able to do it directly from graph (Microsoft must have disabled it, up to 1 month ago it worked without problems). We used a mixed graph / c # code, at most I could do it directly from c # but I don't know how to do it.
Mr_Helaas could you please review my comment in the thread https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/884912/managing-mail-enabled-security-groups-with-ms-grap and let me know your thoughts if I am getting it wrong.
