Create team from group

2025-07-31

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Create a new team from a group. In order to create a team, the group must have at least one owner.

If the group was created less than 15 minutes ago, calls to create a team might fail with a 404 Not Found error because the group information didn't fully replicate.

Tip

We recommend that you retry this API call up to three times, with a 10‑second delay between attempts. If the call still fails after three retries, wait at least 15 minutes after the group was created before you try again.

Note

SharePoint provisioning doesn't occur in real time, it's a background process. The completion of the provisioning can't be determined.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	Group.ReadWrite.All	Directory.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Group.ReadWrite.All	Directory.ReadWrite.All

Note: This API supports admin permissions. Microsoft Teams service admins can access groups that they are not a member of.

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
