crossTenantMigrationJob: validate

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Validate the configuration of a cross-tenant migration job asynchronously. This action doesn't migrate any content, but goes through validation for the specified workloads to find any errors or misconfigurations that affect an actual migration job. The job must be in a submitted or validateFailed status before you can call this action.

This action is asynchronous. After you call the validate API, poll the Get crossTenantMigrationJob endpoint to check for a terminal status of validatePassed or validateFailed.

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type Least privileged permissions Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account) CrossTenantContentMigration.ReadWrite.All Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account) Not supported. Not supported.
Application CrossTenantContentMigration.ReadWrite.All Not available.

Important
