Create team from group

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Create a new team under a group.

In order to create a team, the group must have a least one owner.

If the group was created less than 15 minutes ago, it's possible for the Create team call to fail with a 404 error code due to replication delays. The recommended pattern is to retry the Create team call three times, with a 10 second delay between calls.
