Request body

In the request body, supply only the values for properties that should be updated. Existing properties that aren't included in the request body maintains their previous values or be recalculated based on changes to other property values.

The following table specifies the properties that can be updated.

Property Type Description
disabledForGroup String The ID of a Microsoft Entra group, of which the specified type of insights are disabled for its members. Default is empty. Optional.
isEnabledInOrganization Boolean true if the specified type of insights are enabled for the organization; false if the specified type of insights are disabled for all users without exceptions. Default is true. Optional.

Note: This operation does not verify the disabledForGroup property value if you include it in the request body. If you set the disabledForGroup property to a String, this operation does not check the existence of the corresponding Microsoft Entra group. This means, if you set disabledForGroup to a Microsoft Entra group that does not exist or is deleted afterwards, this operation will not be able to identify any group membership and disable item or people insights for any specific users. If isEnabledInOrganization is set to true, the operation will enable the specified type of insights for all the users in the organization.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and an insightsSettings object in the response body.
