Create Group

See more Microsoft Group Examples

Create a new group as specified in the request body. You can create one of three types of groups:
  • Office 365 Group (unified group)
  • Dynamic group
  • Security group

This operation returns by default only a subset of the properties for each group. These default properties are noted in the Properties section.
