Microsoft Graph: Private channel SharePoint site URL naming appears to have changed
📄 Question We are creating private channels using the Microsoft Graph API: POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/{team-id}/channels With the following payload: { "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.channel", "displayName": "Project-Channel-001", "description": "Sample private channel for testing", "membershipType": "private", "members": [ { "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.aadUserConversationMember", "******@odata.bind": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user-id}", "roles": ["owner"] } ] } 🔍 Observed Behavior When the private channel is created, the associated SharePoint site is provisioned automatically (as expected). However, the URL format appears to have changed. Previously observed behavior: https://{tenant}.sharepoint.com/sites/ProjectTeamURL-Project-Channel-001 Current behavior: https://{tenant}.sharepoint.com/sites/ProjectTeamName-Project-Channel-001 ❗ Impact This change introduces several issues: Breaks deterministic URL generation logic Produces longer and less predictable URLs Introduces dependency on display name, which is mutable and may contain unexpected characters Impacts existing automation and integrations relying on the previous pattern ❓ Questions Has there been a recent change in how SharePoint site URLs are generated for private channels? Is this behavior intentional and documented, or a regression? Is there any way (via Graph or otherwise) to: Control the generated SharePoint site URL, or Retrieve the final site URL deterministically without relying on pattern assumptions? Is the previous {ParentTeamUrl}-{ChannelName} format still expected in some scenarios, or has it been deprecated? 🧪 Additional Notes This behavior is observed when creating channels via Microsoft Graph (v1.0) The issue is reproducible across multiple test scenarios 🙏 Any clarification from Microsoft or others encountering this would be appreciated.
Is principalId Always a GUID in Microsoft Graph ??
{ "error": { "code": "Request_BadRequest", "message": "Invalid GUID:HR", "innerError": { "date": "2026-02-13T06:44:24", "request-id": "87678d90-1d94-4131-a705-4356ad3568a4", "client-request-id": "63569c7b-1dea-42d4-8d72-aa3668c78418" } } } We’re encountering an issue with the Microsoft Graph API response for directoryRole Recently, one of our Graph API calls started returning a response where the principalId value appears to be a custom string instead of the expected GUID. In our code, we loop through each id from the delta response, assuming it will always be a valid GUID. However, we are now getting errors because one of the returned principalId values does not match the expected format. Our questions: Is it possible for Microsoft Graph API to return a custom string instead of a GUID for principalId? Has anyone experienced similar behavior with delta queries for directoryRole or any other object? Are there any known scenarios where the principalId format differs from the standard GUID? Any insights would be appreciated.Resource not found while trying to access the available resource
I am attempting to automate CRUD operations on Microsoft Entra objects using the Microsoft Graph API. However, I am encountering a Resource not found error when accessing a resource programmatically, even though the same resource is accessible without issue when invoking the API endpoint via Postman.
Difficulty with Auto-Answering VOIP Calls via Microsoft Graph API
Description: I'm working on a PowerShell script to initiate and auto-answer VOIP calls using the Microsoft Graph API. I have successfully set up my Azure App Registration, including a callback URI. However, I'm encountering issues when trying to auto-answer calls Details: Call Initiation: The script successfully initiates a call using the New-MgCommunicationCall endpoint. Call Status: The call transitions from "establishing" to "established" status as expected. Error on Auto-Answer: Upon attempting to auto-answer the call with the Invoke-RestMethod to the answer endpoint, I receive a 404 Not Found error. The output indicates that the call ID is valid, but it seems the call resource is not found at the time of answering. Current Script Setup: I'm using a callback URI (https://kyncomdigiwasusdev.onmicrosoft.com/callback) configured for handling call events. I have ensured the necessary permissions are granted in Azure for the app. I have tried various delays (currently set to 5 seconds) between establishing the call and answering it, but I still receive the 404 error. Questions: Are there any known issues with the auto-answer feature in the Microsoft Graph API for VOIP calls? What additional steps should I take to troubleshoot this error?
Downloading word file as PDF from SharePoint using graph api looses sensitivity-label
I have a word file in SharePoint Online document library, this file has Sensitivity label assigned to it. I am downloading this file using Graph SDK with query parameter 'format=pdf'. The file is successfully downloaded and saved as pdf, however, the sensitivity labels are lost. Graph url: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/b!blTHg...nEk/root:/test03/document.docx:/content?format=pdf I opened the same file in browser (Open in browser) and clicked on File --> Save as --> Download as PDF; this step retain the sensitivity labels. Why is the file when downloading from API loosing its labels? Note: I tried downloading directly using SharePoint URL and there too Label information is lost. The sensitivity labels does not carry any control mechanisms i.e., they are used for information classification.
Login failed while configuring Azure SQL connector
Hello All, I'm trying to play with the Microsoft Graph connectors and trying to set up my first conector. I decided to use the Microsoft Azure SQL connector and went through the guides in Microsoft Learn https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftsearch/mssql-connector https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftsearch/configure-connector I created an Azure SQL Server and Database, registered the app and even put the app user as admin, I create an external user using the SQL CREATE USER [app name] FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER and exec sp_addrolemember 'db_datareader', [app name]' Using SQL managment studio I'm able to connect to the SQL but when I try to configure the connector in the admin center I'm stuck on the Database settings screen, after selecting the "Test Connection" button I got the error message: "Error from database server: Login failed for user ''. Incorrect or invalid token." Thanks, JonathanSharepoint Delta API 429 error due to unknow reasons
Hi All, We are getting 429 rate-limited responses from Graph API when fetching SharePoint via Delta APIs. The rate limited requests don’t resolve even after waiting for specified time and retrying for 3 times, so such requests fail causing data losses. If we are sending more requests than the allowed rate limit, we will get that reason in headers, but here no such reason is given which suggests that we don’t exceed rate limits and its some other unknown issue. As mentioned in the document highlighted in the this link; https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/general-development/how-to-avoid-getting-throttled-or-blocked-in-sharepoint-online#ratelimit-headers---preview there could be other reasons that could lead to rate limits. We make sure that we don't request the calls that exceed the count mentioned in RateLimit-Limit header. This makes it even harder to identify the exact cause. Any support related to this is appreciated!!Microsoft Graph API returns no data or unexpected errors for Viva Learning
Hello, I'm exploring options to create a custom learning management system for my company. The first thing I would like to do is to pull data from Microsoft Viva Learning via the Microsoft Graph API, for example to see which courses the employees have completed. The next step will be to write that data on a SharePoint site. I'm using the C# https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/quick-start example as a base, so I can make use of the Microsoft Graph SDK for C#. This is a .NET 7 project, so I upgraded it to a .NET 8 project with the latest versions of the packages: Azure.Identity version 1.11.2 Microsoft.Graph version 5.49.0 For authentication, I have 2 different clients in my code: ApplicationGraphClient which is using a ClientSecretCredential with a client secret provided by my administrator UserGraphClient which is using an InteractiveBrowserCredential, so that I can log in with my own account The following permissions have been given to the app by the administrator: application permissions User.Read.All LearningAssignedCourse.Read.All LearningContent.ReadWrite.All LearningSelfInitiatedCourse.Read.All Sites.ReadWrite.All delegated user permissions User.Read offline_access LearningAssignedCourse.Read LearningContent.ReadWrite.All LearningSelfInitiatedCourse.Read LearningProvider.ReadWrite Sites.ReadWrite.All According to the docs, it's possible to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/learningcourseactivity-list?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http#http-request both for the signed-in user, but also for any user by ID. However, in both cases, I'm getting an empty collection as a result, despite the facts that I've completed several courses in Viva Learning. There is no error or exception. in UserGraphClient: await graphClient.Me.EmployeeExperience.LearningCourseActivities.GetAsync(); // returns an empty collection in `ApplicationGraphClient: await graphClient.Users[myUser.Id].EmployeeExperience.LearningCourseActivities.GetAsync(); // returns an empty collection My administrator also made me a knowledge admin, so I have access to the admin tab of Viva Learning in Teams, and I'm able to export the course activity data for my user. The exported Excel file does contain the expected completed courses. I've also tried to get all the learning activities for all the employees, with a top 10 limit, but this fail with an unknown error and code 404, so I suppose it's implemented in the SDK but not supported by the API. In ApplicationGraphClient: await graphClient.EmployeeExperience.LearningCourseActivities.GetAsync(config => { config.QueryParameters.Top = 10; }); Lastly, I've tried to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/employeeexperience-list-learningproviders?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http#http-request using both the UserGraphClient and ApplicationGraphClient, and in both cases I get the error message "Insufficient privileges to complete the operation.". As you could see above, I do have the delegated LearningProvider.ReadWrite permission, so it should at least work for my signed-in user. Thank you in advance for your help.Unable to delete Archived users from Viva Engage/yammer using powershell script
