Important
For delegated access using 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 that grants the permissions required for this operation. This operation supports the following built-in roles, which provide only the least privilege necessary:
- 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.
