Hi,

I'm in the process of building a PowerApp that allows user input to define the creation of project sites & libraries in SharePoint (online) via Power Automate.

I've got everything working, site creation, document libraries, views etc working... but now need to add existing AAD security groups to the "Owners", "Members" and "Visitors" of the newly created site. There will ultimately be hundreds of sites, all with the same permissions requirements, so I don't want to create new security groups for each site. There will only be the 3 groups (Owners, Members, Visitors) in use across all of the sites.

Much googling has been done, but I haven't been able to find a way to do this from within a flow. Happy to use the HTTP request to get this done, (if it is possible to do it this way), if so, help with the URI / Headers / Body would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks 🙂

Hi @gjme,

If you want to add an existing identity to an existing SharePoint group you could use a POST request against the sitegroups.

Below is an example

In this example I used a SharePoint Group with (prinicipal) id 3. Normally for Team sites that is the out of the box owners group. Do check if that is the correct id in your setup though. Visitors would be id 4 and Members would be id 5.

Secondly replace the LoginName value by your value. In this case the format for an Azure Active Directory security group is

c:0t.c|tenant|<groupid>
