Create invitation
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.
Create a new invitation or reset the redemption status for a guest user who already redeemed their invitation. The invitation adds an external user to the organization.
The following options are available for creating an invitation:
- 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.

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.Invite.All | Directory.ReadWrite.All, User.ReadWrite.All |
Delegated (personal Microsoft account) | Not supported. | Not supported. |
Application | User.Invite.All | Directory.ReadWrite.All, User.ReadWrite.All |
Important
Application permissions (app-only) do not work if B2B invitations are disabled on the tenant or if B2B invitations are restricted to administrators.
When resetting the redemption status for a guest user, the User.ReadWrite.All permission is the least privileged permission for the operation.
For delegated scenarios, the signed-in user must have at least the Guest Inviter, Directory Writers, or User Administrator Microsoft Entra role. To reset the redemption status, the signed-in user must have at least the Helpdesk Administrator or User Administrator role.
