Create Office 365 group for existing Team site
I've added Application permission Read and write directory data (Directory.ReadWrite.All), but it doesn't make a difference.
Group.ReadWrite.All is added as Delegated permission as it doesn't exist as Application permission. Does this mean that it isn't possible to use an AppOnly context (no user context).
Please take a look at the site of John as he managed to do this http://johnliu.net/blog/2017/1/create-many-o365-groups-with-powershell-resource-owner-granttype-and-microsoft-graph

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.
