Update governanceRequest

Namespace: microsoft.graph.tenantGovernanceServices

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.

Update the status property of a governanceRequest to accept or reject the governance request. Only the governed tenant can update the request status.

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)	TenantGovernance-Request.ReadWrite.All	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Not supported.	Not supported.

Important

For delegated access using work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role. Tenant Governance Administrator is the least privileged role supported for this operation.

The following example shows a request.

PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/directory/tenantGovernance/governanceRequests/aaaaaaaa-0000-1111-2222-bbbbbbbbbbbb
Content-Type: application/json

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.
