Important
APIs under the /beta
version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.
Create a new or replace an existing user activity for your app. If you'd like to create a user activity and its related activityHistoryItems in one request, you can use deep insert.
Permissions
Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.
Permission type | Least privileged permissions | Higher privileged permissions |
---|---|---|
Delegated (work or school account) | UserActivity.ReadWrite.CreatedByApp | Not available. |
Delegated (personal Microsoft account) | UserActivity.ReadWrite.CreatedByApp | Not available. |
Application | Not supported. | Not supported. |

Authorization | string | Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization. |
