able to save security group multiple times with same mailNickName

[Frank_Cheung_Quilter]

hi, i ran this code 3 times and it created a new security group every time (returning different group ids).

i thought mailNickname was enforced to be unique? please advise.

It is, but only for Exchange recipients. Which a non mail-enabled security group is not 🙂

thanks, how can i enforce uniqueness in my code?

i am trying to automate the creation of security groups and it won't be nice if people can create duplicates.

You can do a check via the $search query operator: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/search-query-parameter?tabs=http#using-search-on-directory-o...
