@Carlzhao

I am still getting the same error,But When i am trying the same body from Graph Explorer , I am getting success response.

Now you might have a question that this might be a issue with token, answer is no, token i am using for createTeam(Above API) is working for all other api microsoft api like creating channel / posting msg.

Hi @Nirmallya Ghosh

Graph Explore uses delegated permissions by default. When you call this endpoint in a delegated context, you don't need to specify members in the request body, because the delegated context is an authentication flow for user interaction, and the logged-in user will be automatically added as a member when creating a team.

Whereas application permissions is an unattended context, which has no user logged in, so you need to specify the member in the request body.

If you want to reproduce the error, you can use the client credentials flow to get an access token, then call this API in Postman:

Hope this helps.

Hi @Carlzhao,

I am using client credential to get the access token and thats what its complaining about (issue you are seeing in screenshot)

I need to get the access token without a user so What should be my request body ? do you have a example ?

Hi @Nirmallya Ghosh

If you are using the unattended client credentials flow to obtain an access token, then you must specify the user in the member collection, as I said in the answer.

Please try this request body:

{ "template@odata.bind":"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teamsTemplates('standard')", "displayName":"My Sample Team", "description":"My Sample Team’s Description", "members":[ { "@odata.type":"#microsoft.graph.aadUserConversationMember", "roles":[ "owner" ], "user@odata.bind":"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users('0040b377-61d8-43db-94f5-81374122dc7e')" } ] }

Hope this helps.
