Create Teams Channel using Graph API

[MartinHutchcpa]

Hi,

Trying to use the Beta graph api - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/channel-post?view=graph-rest-beta&tabs=http to create a private channel for a team I have setup as owner with me as channel owner.

Using the example I get bad gateway, failed to execute backend request error.

This is the example json and below is card screenshot.

Anybody any ideas?

There is a Create Channel Action available although it says preview... May be you can try that if you can see it in your tenant...

Sadly it doesn’t offer private mode.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

I found my error.

As this flow integrates with Dynamics I was mistakingly using the crm user id not the Active Directory user id.

HI, Just a small question as i'm trying something similar

How did you managed to get the Authorization Token?

[MartinHutchcpa]

I used a card

Thanks For your reply

It did gave me the bearer token but unfortunately my next step is giving a 403 forbidden error

What I'm trying to achieve is create an online meeting as per below documentation :
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/application-post-onlinemeetings?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=...

for that I have also got the requested admin consent for permission "OnlineMeetings.ReadWrite"

I'm still not sure as why its still not allowing me.

[MartinHutchcpa]

Try using the graph explorer.

It will also show you what permissions you need.

Thanks,

I can see that onlinemeetings.Readwrite is the permission that I needed from the graph explorer.

I've managed to get it but still somehow it is giving me 403- forbidden error

Is it any specific way that you are passing the token ? I am passing it as directly raw ey (Should I start it with bearer keyword in the beginning?)

[MartinHutchcpa]

Sorry for delay.

The value for the Authorization key is simply the "Access token" field from the "Get Token" parsed json response.
