GRAPH - Add/remove user to distribution list

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
Mr_Helaas - this is not working for us. Well, it is, however it takes a minute to call and load the module each time we want to add a user. Why is this not possible directly with the Graph API like everything else?
