Previously one could add members to mail-enabled security groups via Graph API. But turns out that was a bug, and it was fixed some weeks ago removing this functionality. Would it be possible to allow add-remove of members in mail-enabled security groups via Graph API?

Not only would this be helpful, it would be even more helpful to have Graph API support for Exchange Online in general.
Why do we have to have two different ways to manage things in the cloud? Just the overhead of loading two different management modules and having to remember what gets done in this one and what has to be done in the other is burdensome.
Found an AzureAD commandlet (AzureAD module) that didn't work with either Certificate Based or ApplicationID authentication but did work with other Auth methods. What is the deal there?Found that the New-MgGroupMember commandlet just comes back with an error message like "We failed to update the group. Try again later" message when trying to add a member to a group using the GroupId and the MemberId as parameters and yet the New-MgGroupMemberByRef commandlet works just fine. I don't know how much time was wasted trying to figure that one out. Inconsistencies like this are just wrong!
Microsoft keeps deprecating older modules and Auth methods and then doesn't provide the tools to easily use the newest standards/tools that they are forcing everybody to switch over to.
Come On, Microsoft! Let's get it together and help your user base!Just adding another Upvote! This is definitely the definition of anti-automation and forces human intervention. Makes no sense why they left the API just half-done. Please finish it!
We do need this feature to keep all groups in synch in our identity management. Would be really helpful to get this feature.
The fact this doesn't work is making many companies stay in a hybrid environment. We can automate this functionality in PowerShell On-premise easily. This needs to be fixed as it is giving everyone the reason not use this product. Even copilot believes it should work and it does not, the examples I have been testing all came from copilot.
FYI, this lack of functionality is documented in a GitHub issue here, and the official response is to upvote the feature request.
Yes, in the naif faith that someone, someday, will get the system back to the wanted function.
I wonder if anyone even monitors these pages anymore.
This should work both for adding and removing users. It seems odd that this could previously be achieved.
Bumping the idea since it is indeed a great idea and I don't understand why all other "groups" can be updated via PA but not those
Would be great to get this working with Power Automate! It would be good for ISMS.
