Disabled/Blocked Users not getting added as member to teams using this graph api https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/team-post-members?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http and getting error message

innerError":{"message":"User 'd7bc3af8-e652-4969-b917-c15a27b8e499' does not exist.","code":"ItemNotFound","innerError":{},"date":"2022-11-09T09:54:58","request-id":"cecea30e-e5e8-44ee-b0f8-57977169e9bd","client-request-id":"cecea30e-e5e8-44ee-b0f8-57977169e9bd"}

So wanted to know is this something not allowed by Azure only and any specific reason for the same. Or is there any alternative to resolve this.

    That's by design, disabled users cannot use Teams and are automatically removed from any team they're a member of. The behavior is detailed for example here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/troubleshoot/channels/logon-reenabled-user-not-see-previous-joined-teams
    It's a poor design, I know, but try convincing Microsoft of the same...
