403 Error When Adding Members to Team via Graph API

Hi @Samee

Teams tag is mainly focused on the general issue of Microsoft Teams troubleshooting. According to your description, your question is related to Teams API development, so I will also add Teams development tag to your thread. Thanks for your understanding!

Hi Samee - Could you please the request-id and timestamp details of a recent repro along with the API calls made. You can also share above details here or send at microsoftteamsdev@microsoft.com.

Here is the request-id and timestamp details:

statusCode: 403,
  code: 'Forbidden',
  requestId: '4c2f5e2c-1153-4e56-9faf-3a794fe6a7a6',
  date: 2025-01-09T10:50:33.000Z,
  body: '{"code":"Forbidden","message":"You do not have permission to perform this operation.","innerError":{"code":"AccessDenied","message":"You do not have permission to perform this operation.","details":[],"date":"2025-01-09T10:50:33","request-id":"4c2f5e2c-1153-4e56-9faf-3a794fe6a7a6","client-request-id":"53ee320c-724c-d2e7-f18d-45df377415d6"}}',
  headers: Headers {
    'transfer-encoding': 'chunked',
    'content-type': 'application/json',
    'content-encoding': 'gzip',
    vary: 'Accept-Encoding',
    'strict-transport-security': 'max-age=31536000',
    'request-id': '4c2f5e2c-1153-4e56-9faf-3a794fe6a7a6',
    'client-request-id': '53ee320c-724c-d2e7-f18d-45df377415d6',

    date: 'Thu, 09 Jan 2025 10:50:33 GMT'
  }

Here is the API call made:

console.log("Adding user to team...");
    const conversationMember = {
      "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.aadUserConversationMember",
      roles: ["member"],
      "user@odata.bind": `https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users('${userId}')`,
    };
    await graphClient.api(`/teams/${team.id}/members`).post(conversationMember);

I don't get this error when I create the office account, wait about 35 seconds and then add the member to the team. I never used to get this error before, only recently.

Here is the request-id and timestamp details:

  }

Here is the API call:

    const conversationMember = {

      roles: ["member"],

    };
    await graphClient.api(`/teams/${team.id}/members`).post(conversationMember);
