directorySetting resource type

Namespace: microsoft.graph

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.

Directory settings define the configurations that can be used to customize the tenant-wide and object-specific restrictions and allowed behavior. For examples, you can block word lists for group display names or define whether guest users are allowed to be group owners.

By default, all entities inherit the preset defaults. To change the default settings, you must create a new settings object using the directorySettingTemplates. When the same setting is defined at both the tenant-wide and to a specific group, the entity-level setting overrides the tenant-wide setting. For example, the tenant-wide setting may allow guests to be invited by existing members of groups, but an individual group setting can override and not allow guests to be invited by members of the group.

Tip

The /v1.0 version of this resource is named groupSetting.
