Remove sponsor

Namespace: microsoft.graph

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.

Remove a user's sponsor.

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)	User.ReadWrite.All	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	User.ReadWrite.All	Not available.

HTTP request

DELETE /users/{id}/sponsors/{id}/$ref

Caution

If /$ref is not appended to the request and the calling app has permissions to manage the sponsor object type, the sponsor object is also deleted from Microsoft Entra ID; otherwise, a 403 Forbidden error is returned. For example, an app with User.ReadWrite.All permissions deletes a user who is a sponsor. You can restore specific objects through the Restore deleted items API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
