Getting 403: "ErrorGroupAccessDenied" when changing group settings with Graph API

Question

I want to create a group then adding members, owners and changing settings using Graph API

I can create a group and assign members and owners but when I try to change the settings I get 403: "ErrorGroupAccessDenied"
It happens only when I try to change "allowExternalSenders" and "autoSubscribeNewMembers"(for other settings I tried the code succeeded to change)

I followed the "Update group" page and gave all the permissions as explained but I still get that error.

Answer 1

Thank you for the answer,

I gave all of these permissions and made sure they were granted by an admin.

Still the 403 error appears.

Answer 2

Hi Shachar Shmueli,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community Forums.

To change the allowExternalSenders and autoSubscribeNewMembers settings, make sure the application has the following permissions:

Group.ReadWrite.All

Directory.ReadWrite.

All Directory.ReadWrite.All These permissions need to be granted by an administrator to take effect.

Best regards
