The requesting principal is not authorized to set group preferred data location
We have our tenant with 4 Geo locations. And inside power automate flow I am sending this Graph Api to create a new security group under specific Geo location:-
but I am getting this error:-
The requesting principal is not authorized to set group preferred data location.
Now if i remove this parameter:-
"preferredDataLocation": "AUS",
the Office 365 group will get created under the default location, but I need to add it to the specific location. the service account running the graph Api call has SharePoint, group and teams admin permissions.
any advice?
Thanks
