Update schema

Namespace: microsoft.graph.externalConnectors

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Update the properties of a schema for an externalConnection.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	❌

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)	ExternalConnection.ReadWrite.OwnedBy	ExternalConnection.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	ExternalConnection.ReadWrite.OwnedBy	ExternalConnection.ReadWrite.All

HTTP request

PATCH /external/connections/{connectionId}/schema

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.
Prefer: respond-async	Use this to cause the request to execute asynchronously. Optional.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of a schema object.

When you register a custom item schema, the schema object must have the baseType property set to microsoft.graph.externalItem and must contain the properties property. The properties object must contain at least one property, up to a maximum of 128.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 202 Accepted response code and a URL in the Location response header that can be used to get the operation status.
