Update accessReviewInstance

  • Article

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Update the properties of an accessReviewInstance object. Only the reviewers and fallbackReviewers properties can be updated but the scope property is also required in the request body. You can only add reviewers to the fallbackReviewers property but can't remove existing fallbackReviewers.

To update an accessReviewInstance, it's status must be InProgress.

Note

Updating an accessReviewInstance will update only that instance. The parent accessReviewScheduleDefinition and any future accessReviewInstance objects won't change. To make updates that apply to all future instances, update the parent accessReviewScheduleDefinition object.
