Update governanceRelationship

Namespace: microsoft.graph.tenantGovernanceServices

[!INCLUDE beta-disclaimer]

Update the status property of a governanceRelationship to initiate the termination process. There are two models for termination:

  1. Initiated by the governing tenant: After the governing tenant updates the status to terminationRequestedByGoverningTenant, the governed tenant may subsequently update the status to terminated.
  2. Directly terminated by the governed tenant: The governed tenant updates the status to terminated to immediately terminate the relationship.

When the governed tenant updates the status to terminated in either model, the resources that were provisioned in the governed tenant upon relationship creation are deleted.
