groupSettingTemplate resource type

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Group setting templates represent system-defined settings available to the tenant. Group settings can be created based on the available groupSettingTemplates, and values changed from their preset defaults. Group setting templates cannot be created, updated or deleted. These settings can represent tenant-wide settings, or can represent specific group settings. Currently, the only templates available for groups apply to Microsoft 365 groups, and include settings such as whether users can create groups or invite guests from outside the organization to become members of a group.

For more information about the Microsoft 365 groups-specific settings, see group (directory) settings.
