Question

MS Graph request to create a new entra security group is throwing a 400 client error Bad request message "The reference target 'Group_' of type 'Group' is invalid for the 'owners' reference."

can i create an entra id security group with MS graph request while specifying a another entra id security group as the owner?

Answer 1

No, only user objects can be designated as owners. If you need to specify multiple owners, you need to add them individually, you cannot directly add a group, or refer to its membership.
