I'm using the SharePoint HTTP request /_api/spsitemanager/create to create a new SharePoint site and it works fine if I use the "Owner" attribute as user@domain.com in the Body of the request. I would now like to specify an AAD Security Group as the owner of the site during it's creation. Is that possible?
@Nived_Nambiar , getting this error when I try using the above:
The property '__metadata' does not exist on type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.SPSiteCreationRequest'. Make sure to only use property names that are defined by the type.
Hi @randomsky
Did you add body in HTTP request like below

{
"request": {
"__metadata": {
"type": "SP.SPSiteCreationRequest"
},
"Title": "New Site",
"Url": "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/NewSite",
"Description": "This is a new site",
"SiteDesignId": "6142d2a0-63a5-4ba0-aede-d9fefca2c767",
"WebTemplate": "STS#3",
"TimeZoneId": 4,
"OwnerIdentifier": "object-id-of-security-group"
}
}
Add the object id in OwnerIdentifier field
Hope this helps 🙂
@Nived_Nambiar , since this is a security group it doesn't have an associated email address. I tried using the AAD object ID of that security grou but it doesn't seem to work with that.
Hi @randomsky
I think that is possible. Specify group's email id there in owner field, hope that would works
Mark it as solution if it resolves your query 🙂
