Adding user to Sharepoint group with HTTP request

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 442

I am trying to add a user to a Sharepoint group with HTTP request in Microsoft Flow/Power automate.

 

The Flow first creates an Azure AD user, then adds the user to AAD security group, assigns E2 license by adding to a AAD security group that is assigned E2 licensing, and then it is supposed to add the user to Sharepoint group.

The Flow runs and succeeds, but the user is not added to the group and is not allowed to log in to the Sharepoint site.

 

The other actions in the Flow are "Azure AD - Create user" and "Azure AD - Add user to group". They are performed, succeed and the user is indeed created and then added to the group.

 
If I run the Flow again with the same user, I get the error message:
{
  "status": 404,
  "message": "The user does not exist or is not unique.\r\nclientRequestId: 3243155b-57c4-4786-bad7-bcb68b96f459\r\nserviceRequestId: 16873b9f-20af-2000-30c6-331d92fc4d53",
  "errors": [
    "-2130575276",
    "Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException"
  ]
}
 
The user  is able to log in at login.microsoftonline.com. When they tgo to the Sharepoint site url, they get "User does not exist in the Sharepoint catalogue"
 
I have tested with different users and different Sharepint groups, and the result is the same for everyone.

 

The image only shows the HTTP request: I have made a new flow for testing only this part, since everything else in the original Flow works fine.

In the body, the user email is entered.

    Hi @MrtnM 

     

    Make sure Group Id is correct. Also in your POST body make sure all details are correct.

    Hello,

    Have you tried to use the action :
    Office 365 groups ?

    All SharePoint online sites are usually tied to a group in the back end.

    Thanks,

    I got it to work simply by inserting a Delay of 90 minutes. Maybe a shorter time would do as well, but I'm not in the mood for testing 🙂
