Add member to team

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Add a new conversationMember to a team.

Note

The roles property will be empty by default for all members. This property only contains additional qualifiers when relevant - for example, if the member has owner privileges, the roles property contains owner as one of the values. Similarly, if the member is a guest, the roles property contains guest as one of the values. A basic member should not have any values specified in the roles property.
