Namespace: microsoft.graph.ediscovery

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Add additional data sources to a source collection.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	❌	❌	❌

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	eDiscovery.Read.All	eDiscovery.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	eDiscovery.Read.All	eDiscovery.ReadWrite.All

HTTP request

POST /compliance/ediscovery/cases/{caseId}/sourceCollections/{sourceCollectionId}/additionalSources

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of the dataSource object.

The following table lists the properties that are required when you create the dataSource.

Note: Either email or site are required, not both.

Property	Type	Description
email	string	SMTP address of the mailbox. To get the email address of a group, use List groups or Get group. You can query by the name of the group using `$filter`; for example, `https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups?$filter=displayName eq 'secret group'&$select=mail,id,displayName`.
site	string	URL of the site; for example, `https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/HumanResources`.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and a microsoft.graph.ediscovery.dataSource object in the response body.

Examples

Example 1: Add a user or group mailbox to the additional sources

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
