Namespace: microsoft.graph
Remove a member from a group via the members navigation property. You can't remove a member from groups with dynamic memberships.
Permissions
One of the following permissions is required to call this API. To learn more, including how to choose permissions, see Permissions.
Permission type | Permissions (from least to most privileged) |
---|---|
Delegated (work or school account) | GroupMember.ReadWrite.All, Group.ReadWrite.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All |
Delegated (personal Microsoft account) | Not supported. |
Application | GroupMember.ReadWrite.All, Group.ReadWrite.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All |
Important
To remove members from a role-assignable group, the calling user must also be assigned the RoleManagement.ReadWrite.Directory permission.
HTTP request
DELETE /groups/{id}/members/{id}/$ref
Caution
If /$ref
is not appended to the request and the calling app has permissions to manage the member object type, the member object will also be deleted from Azure Active Directory (Azure AD); otherwise, a 403 Forbidden
error is returned. For example, an app with both GroupMember.ReadWrite.All and User.ReadWrite.All permissions will delete a user. You can restore specific objects through the Restore deleted items API.
