Create invitation
Namespace: microsoft.graph
Use this API to create a new invitation. Invitation adds an external user to the organization.
When creating a new invitation, you have several options available:
- On invitation creation, Microsoft Graph can automatically send an invitation email directly to the invited user, or your app can use the inviteRedeemUrl returned in the response to craft your own invitation (through your communication mechanism of choice) to the invited user. If you decide to have Microsoft Graph send an invitation email automatically, you can specify the content and language of the email by using invitedUserMessageInfo.
- When the user is invited, a user entity (of userType
Guest
) is created and can be used to control access to resources. The invited user has to go through the redemption process to access any resources they have been invited to.
This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.
