Add member to team

Article
2024-08-19

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Note

The roles property is empty by default for all members. This property only contains additional qualifiers when relevant; for example, if the member has owner privileges, the roles property contains owner as one of the values. Similarly, if the member is a guest, the roles property contains guest as one of the values. A basic member shouldn't have any values specified in the roles property.
After adding a new conversation member to a team, it might take some time for the addition to be reflected. Users can use change notifications to subscribe to notifications for membership changes in a particular team.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.
