Appreciate it, however I don't see that there's an API for this in the Graph. Sure you can create a Group, but I need to "groupify" an existing SharePoint site collection.

The SharePoint API is

{siteUrl}/_api/GroupSiteManager/CreateGroupForSite

But again, it cannot be called using AppOnly context.

I guess the conclusion is that it is not possible yet.

Hi Michael,

True it is not possibble yet but with the solution of John you could create a account which only can do what you want.

Kind regards,

Paul

It is a multi tenant solution running against hundreds of customers, so can't use username/password.
