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.
In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be an owner or member of the group or be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation.
For role-assignable groups: Privileged Role Administrator
For non-role-assignable groups: Directory Writer, Groups Administrator, Identity Governance Administrator, or User Administrator
The role assignments for the calling user should be scoped at the directory level.
Other roles with permissions to manage groups (such as Exchange Administrators for non-role-assignable Microsoft 365 groups) and administrators with assignments scoped at administrative unit level can manage groups through groups API and override changes made in Microsoft Entra PIM through PIM for groups APIs.
