Authorization Errors Sending POST HTTP Request Office 365 Users

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

There is an Office 365 Users "Send HTTP Request" activity that I am trying to use, but for the life of me, it continues to give me authorization errors. I'm not sure why it cannot use my connection (aka my account) to send the post request. When I use the graph explorer it works flawlessly. It seems super buggy. When I use the Office 365 connector to get a user profile, it works fine. It seems as if the Office 365 Users application is not permitted to make POST requests or needs admin consent. I'm having lots of trouble if anyone can help me with the following error:

            }
        }
    }
 
I'm trying to create a new user. Not a new group, not use the premium HTTP connector. Just use the function intended to be used and created by Microsoft.

    they artificially limited the permitted Graph API calls to just groups.  

     

    Use a different HTTP call action.
