    Appendix H - About Microsoft Graph API (Recommended Method for Microsoft 365 Groups and Microsoft Teams Management)

    AvePoint Cloud Governance uses Microsoft Graph API as the default method for group/team provisioning and management since Graph API is recommended by Microsoft. Therefore, if your Microsoft 365 tenant only has one domain, AvePoint recommends that you use Microsoft Graph API to create and manage groups/teams. There are Microsoft Teams APIs in Microsoft Graph that can be used to work with Microsoft Teams, as well as Microsoft 365 Groups APIs in Microsoft Graph that can be used to work with groups.

    For organizations that are using the commercial environment of AvePoint Cloud Governance, Cloud Governance will invoke Microsoft Teams APIs in Microsoft Graph to create teams in the following situations:

    - In a Create Team service request, a requester selects an existing team to create a new team. - In a Create Team service request, a requester selects a team template to create a new team. - In a Create Team service, you have the following configurations: - **Team Template** – **Allow business users to create a team from scratch** - **Group/Team Name and ID** > **Set group/team ID rule** – **Automatically populate group/team ID with group/team name and hide group/team ID from business users**

    However, due to the Microsoft Graph API limitations, it is not supported to set the language of the welcome email that Microsoft sends to the group mailbox upon the group/team provisioning, and the welcome email is in English. For details on Exchange Web Services API, refer to Appendix I - About Exchange Web Services API. This method can be enabled by configuring an impersonation account. For detailed instructions, refer to Configure Impersonation Accounts.
