Create AD group with owners and members with python graph SDK

Question

Im following this example to create Azure AD security group with owners and members, But the group is created without the members and additional owners provided. Im following the below doc:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/group-post-groups?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=python#exampl...

 

The Group object has members and owners parameter, should that be used instead? If so is there any example for that? 

from msgraph import GraphServiceClient
from msgraph.generated.models.group import Group

graph_client = GraphServiceClient(credentials, scopes)

request_body = Group(
	description = "Group with designated owner and members",
	display_name = "Operations group",
	group_types = [
	],
	mail_enabled = False,
	mail_nickname = "operations2019",
	security_enabled = True,
	additional_data = {
			"owners@odata_bind" : [
				"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/26be1845-4119-4801-a799-aea79d09f1a2",
			],
			"members@odata_bind" : [
				"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/ff7cb387-6688-423c-8188-3da9532a73cc",
				"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/69456242-0067-49d3-ba96-9de6f2728e14",
			],
	}
)

result = await graph_client.groups.post(request_body)

Hi @Sanjay Prakash

I just tested this API locally and it works perfectly to create security groups with members and owners. Go to Azure AD > Groups > Find the group you created, then find the Members & Owners blade and check again.

Hope this helps.
