New-MgChatMember syntax

Rising Flight 5,256

Hi All,

I want to add a user to a group chat in Teams. I’m using the below syntax but I’m getting the following error:

owner : The term 'owner' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I have tried the following, but no luck:

"roles" = @(owner)

"roles" = @(member)

"roles" = @(guest)

"roles" =@()

Here’s my current script:3f7a29d4-5bc8-4e91-b2c4-d6e3a47b19f2 is my tenant id in script

# Teams chat thread ID
$chatId = "19:48273918273645192837465718273645@thread.v2"
 
# User's UPN (email address)
$userUpn = "******@mydomain.com"   

# Get Object ID for the user
$user = Get-MgUser -UserId $userUpn
 
# Build the request body(in the forum user is coming as  *** so i have used usr)
$body = @{
  "******@odata.type"     = "#microsoft.graph.aadUserConversationMember"
  "******@odata.bind" = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/3f7a29d4-5bc8-4e91-b2c4-d6e3a47b19f2"
  "roles"           = @("owner")   # Must be quoted as strings
}
 
# Add the user to the chat
New-MgChatMember -ChatId $chatId -BodyParameter $body

Hello @Rising Flight,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A Community.

You should remove the quotes around the roles key. The right syntax should be roles = @("owner"), not "roles" = @("owner"). You can find more details in New-MgChatMember
