Query: Permissions required by an account to post any messages to any teams and channels

Question

Hi Team,&nbsp;I need some information regarding a MS Teams account. Basically I would like to know what type of permissions needed by an account on MS Teams to post any message to any Teams and Channels.&nbsp;I understand that the account will be in my organization's active directory.&nbsp;Trying to understand the permissions required by an account to achieve my above mentioned requirements.&nbsp;It would be grateful, if I can get any contact to discuss this via email or teams call.&nbsp;Thanks,Reshmi Gupta

Do you mean programmatically, or as a user? For the latter, you need to be added to the Team/Group, no admin permissions are needed. It's best to be added as Owner as to bypass any moderation requirements.
Programmatically, this can be done via the Graph API or bots, etc.

VasilMichev&nbsp;Thanks for the reply!&nbsp;So that means unless an account is added to a Team/Group, that account will not be able to send any message to that Team/Group..correct?&nbsp;Second, programmatically can we add an account to Team/Group using GraphAPI or bots?&nbsp;I checked the Graph API for MS Teams but could not see any api for adding a member to a Team/Group&nbsp;If you don't mind, can you share the link for both (GraphAPI and bots)&nbsp;Thanks,Reshmi
