In this post, we will learn to issue a POST request to Graph using PowerShell REST method.
Requirements:
Service account should have following permissions- Permission: User.ReadWrite.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All
- Role: At least "User management administrator"
When using the POST method, we need to supply the JSON in the request body, we will be using the "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users" URL to post the REST request.
