Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

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

The following table lists the properties that are required when you create the subjectRightsRequest.

Property	Type	Description
approvers	user collection	Collection of users who can approve the request. Currently only supported for requests of type delete.
collaborators	user collection	Collection of users who can collaborate on the request.
contentQuery	String	KQL based content query that should be used for search. This property is defined only for APIs accessed using the \security query path and not the \privacy query path.
dataSubject	dataSubject	Contains the properties for data subject for the request.
dataSubjectType	dataSubjectType	Data subject type. Possible values are: customer, currentEmployee, formerEmployee, prospectiveEmployee, student, teacher, faculty, other, unknownFutureValue.
description	String	Description for the request.
displayName	String	Name of the request.
externalId	String	The external ID for the request that is immutable after creation and is used for tracking the request for the external system. This property is defined only for APIs accessed using the \security query path and not the \privacy query path.
includeAllVersions	Boolean	Include all versions of the documents. By default, the current copies of the documents are returned. If SharePoint sites have versioning enabled, including all versions automatically includes the historical copies of the documents. This property is defined only for APIs accessed using the \security query path and not the \privacy query path.
includeAuthoredContent	Boolean	Include content authored by the data subject. This property is defined only for APIs accessed using the \security query path and not the \privacy query path.
internalDueDateTime	DateTimeOffset	Internal due date that is used for tracking the request completion.
mailboxLocations	subjectRightsRequestMailboxLocation	The mailbox locations that should be searched. This property is defined only for APIs accessed using the \security query path and not the \privacy query path.
pauseAfterEstimate	Boolean	Pause the request after estimate has finished. By default, the data estimate runs and then pauses, allowing you to preview results and then select the option to retrieve data in the UI. You can set this property to false if you want it to perform the estimate and then automatically begin with the retrieval of the content. This property is defined only for APIs accessed using the \security query path and not the \privacy query path.
regulations	String collection	One or more regulations for the request.
siteLocations	subjectRightsRequestSiteLocation	The SharePoint and OneDrive site locations that should be searched. This property is defined only for APIs accessed using the \security query path and not the \privacy query path.
type	subjectRightsRequestType	Type of the request. Possible values are: export, access, delete, tagForAction, unknownFutureValue.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and a subjectRightsRequest object in the response body.
