This is requonse:
odata.error:
code: "Authorization_RequestDenied"
message:
lang: "en"
value: "Insufficient privileges to complete the operation."

Hi,
Are you using this link to delete the group
https://graph.windows.net/<domain>/groups/<objectId>/?api-version=1.5
the method states that it has used the date, not the version of API as mentioned below.
https://graph.windows.net/mytenantdomain/groups/<objectId>?api-version=2013-04-05
The Sample request also has the date, not the exact version of the API
DELETE https://graph.windows.net/contoso.onmicrosoft.com/groups/bc0001a2-5b96-4073-a5be-6b80528a17ad?api-version=2013-04-05
HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eX ... FWSXfwtQ
Content-Type: application/json
Host: graph.windows.net
Hope this helps you.

Delete Yammer Group through REST API

Hi All,
Is there any REST API from yammer which enables us to delete Yammer groups. We would just have to pass groupid(s) to the rest api url and my yammer groups should get deleted.
I tried googling but could not find any. except these: https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/group_memberships.json?group_id=:4309911 which just deletes user from a group. Is there any rest api to delete the group itself ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Subhash S.

Hi,

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to add an user to a SharePoint group in host web from a SharePoint Hosted App using REST API.
Here is a working demo for your reference:
var hostweburl;
var appweburl;
$(document).ready(function () {
//Get the URI decoded URLs.
hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter("SPHostUrl"));
appweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter("SPAppWebUrl"));
// Resources are in URLs in the form:
// web_url/_layouts/15/resource
var scriptbase = hostweburl + "/_layouts/15/";
// SP.RequestExecutor.js to make cross-domain requests
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", loadPage);
// Utilities
// Retrieve a query string value.
// For production purposes you may want to use a library to handle the query string.
function getQueryStringParameter(paramToRetrieve)
var params = document.URL.split("?")[1].split("&");
for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i = i + 1)
var singleParam = params[i].split("=");
if (singleParam[0] == paramToRetrieve) return singleParam[1];
function addUsersInGroup() {
var executor;
// Initialize the RequestExecutor with the app web URL.
executor = new SP.RequestExecutor(appweburl);
executor.executeAsync({
url: appweburl + "/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/sitegroups(8)/users?@target='" + hostweburl + "'",
method: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: 'json',
body: "{'__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.User' },'LoginName':'i:0#.f|membership|[email protected]'}",
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose",
"content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest":$("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
success: addUsersInGroupSuccessHandler,
error: addUsersInGroupErrorHandler
function addUsersInGroupSuccessHandler(data)
console.log(data);
var jsonObject = JSON.parse(data.body);
console.log(jsonObject);
function addUsersInGroupErrorHandler(data)
console.log(data);
var jsonObject = JSON.parse(data.body);
console.log(jsonObject);

Can't delete groups in Address Book

I have a couple of local groups in my Address Book that refuse to delete. Even though the "Delete Group" dialog pops up when I highlight the group and press the Delete-key, they are still there after hitting the OK button.
When I create new groups (plus-button) I can delete them but not some of the old groups that were carried over from an older OS version.
I have been playing around with Entourage and Outlook a lot so that might have had something to do with it.
Is there a way to modify the Address Book database directly to get rid of these groups ?
Or reinstall Address Book ?
I already tried to swipe all Address Book related plist files - that didn't do it.

Ok, I have solved the problem: I had to reset my SyncServices folder.
Here's the description: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1627
After that I was finally able to delete the unwanted groups.

~Harish

Hi Harish,
I have same problem and I just find solution for this error.
You must set body/data to null value --> It's work for me !!! :)
See my code with RequestExecutor (I develop an SharePoint App)
// Set the new role assignment for the group on the list.
        this.setNewRoleForGroup = function (listTitle, newRoleDefId, groupId) {
            var deferred = $.Deferred();
            //First we must call the EnsureSetup method
            JSRequest.EnsureSetup();
            var hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(JSRequest.QueryString["SPHostUrl"]);
            var appweburl = decodeURIComponent(JSRequest.QueryString["SPAppWebUrl"]);
            //Tip to have a title formated to REST call
            var arrayTitle = decodeURIComponent(listTitle).split("'");
            var restQueryUrl = appweburl + "/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/lists/GetByTitle('" + arrayTitle.join("''") + "')/roleassignments/addroleassignment(principalid=" + groupId + ",roledefid=" + newRoleDefId + ")?@target='" + hostweburl + "'";
            var executor = new SP.RequestExecutor(appweburl);
            executor.executeAsync({
                url: restQueryUrl,
                body: null,
                method: "POST",
                headers: {
                    "Content-Type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
                    "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose",
                    "X-HTTP-Method": "POST"
                success: function (data, textStatus, xhr) {
                    deferred.resolve({ updated: true });
                error: function (xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                    deferred.reject(JSON.parse(xhr.body).error.message.value);
            return deferred;

Can't delete group of emails at once.

When I click on Mail on my IPad2, I used to click on Inbox and could open both of my mail accounts. Now, I only get the Inbox for one of my accounts (all the Inbox button does is open and close the list of emails in one account). Also, in the column that opens on the left, listing each email, there is no longer a "delete" option. I have to open each individual email to delete it.
Is there a bug in the update? How do I resolve this?

No, it's one at a time, then you can delete all once in trash.

Network Security Groups REST API

HI,
according to this link:
http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/11/04/network-security-groups/
Network Security groups is currently exposed only through power shell and REST API.
I can't find any REST API documentations.
any idea?

Hi,
You are correct. There is no offical article related to Network Security Group with REST API as Network Security Group is a new feature. I will report it to the related team and hope the related articles would be published quickly. In addition, you can also
submit your requirement in Azure feedback:

Apprecite your patience.

How to filter the Rest Api data based on Taxanomy columns

Hi Everyone,
We are using SharePoint2010 Standard Edition.
I wanted get the library details through REST Api. I am using as below:
https://SiteUrl/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Documents?$filter=Title eq 'SharePointDoc'
Here I am able to get the info regarding "SharePointDoc". But when I am trying to get the details from Taxonomy filter, it didn't.
Can anyone please tell me how can we filter based on Taxanomy fields.
Thanks in Advance
Krishnasandeep

Hi,
I understand that you wanted to filter the Rest Api data based on Taxanomy columns.
Per my knowledge, in SharePoint 2010 , not all types of column are available via REST, most annoyingly managed metadata columns are amongst this group of unsupported column types.
However, in SharePoint 2013, we can filter list items based on taxonomy (managed metadata) columns.
Taxonomy fields can be now called via REST API using CAML query in REST calls.
Here is a great blog for your reference:
http://www.cleverworkarounds.com/2013/09/23/how-to-filter-on-a-managed-metadata-column-via-rest-in-sharepoint-2013/comment-page-1/
You’d better to change the REST calls and the CAML query to check whether it works in SharePoint 2010.

How to use WebCenter REST API to like or comment a activity

Hi all
I want to know how to realize like or comment function with REST APIs.
I execute a REST call with following url, but the 'like' counter is not be increased.
http://cdcjp77vm3.cn.oracle.com:8888/rest/api/activities/services/oracle.webcenter.community/objectTypes/groupSpace/objects/(s2518c69b_1989_4a63_8886_c32075c76b9c)/likes?&utoken=FDNA-Z7ekZuPnVSNoPWOqTJ2IzAE_w**
Is there anything i missed?
Can anyone give me an example about how to use this API to like or comment a activity?
Thanks
Qian

So Qian;
looking through the code this is how you can
Post a comment (POST)
/rest/api/activities/services/{serviceId}/objectTypes/{objectType}/objects/({objectId})/comments?startIndex={startIndex}&itemsPerPage={itemsPerPage}&utoken=blah
{key:val}
{text:'this is my comment)
Edit a comment (PUT)
So I haven't tried it but it should do the trick.. although I don't see update under capabilities so you may get blocked.
/rest/api/activities/services/{serviceId}/objectTypes/{objectType}/objects/({objectId})/comments?startIndex={startIndex}&itemsPerPage={itemsPerPage}&utoken=blah
id: {commentId},
text: 'changed my comment.. magic'
Delete a comment (DELETE)
/rest/api/activities/services/{serviceId}/objectTypes/groupSpace/objects/({objectId})/comments/{commentId}?utoken=blah
Like POST
/rest/api/activities/services/{serviceId}/objectTypes/{objectType}/objects/({objectId})/likes?startIndex={startIndex}&itemsPerPage={itemsPerPage}&utoken=blah
I passed it an empty object {} seemed to work for me.
Unlike (DELETE)
/rest/api/activities/services/oracle.webcenter.community/objectTypes/groupSpace/objects/({objectId})/likes/({likeId})?utoken=blah
Let me know if this works for you

Problem when selecting PublishingRollupImage using REST API using Javascript ?

Hii Guys,
I am developing a listing page of News using REST, the custom list contains Title, PublishingRollupImage, and other fields which is provided in the $select
http://xyz/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('News')/Items?$select=Title,Link,PublishingRollupImage
the column "PublishingRollupImage" is there and i can return the result by using normal JavaScript API with CAML query.
but REST calling while specifying this column is failing with this error
The field or property 'PublishingRollupImage' does not exist
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.InvalidClientQueryException
please note that this is not the (hyperlink/image) field,
its an existing site columns (publishing image)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to get Rollup Image data using REST API.
Per my knowledge, we can’t get it using REST API.
We can use Client Object Model to achieve it, the following code snippet for your reference:
var ctx = new SP.ClientContext();
var items = ctx.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('Pages').getItems(new SP.CamlQuery());
ctx.load(items);
ctx.executeQueryAsync(function() {
// Get the first items rollup image, just as an example
var rollupImage = items.getItemAtIndex(0).get_item('PublishingRollupImage');
console.log(rollupImage);
If you still want to use the REST API, we can customize a We Service to achieve it.

Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:

How can I access user permission for specific items in Sharepoint 2013 via REST API?

I want to access user permissions for specific items like lists, documents, folders etc. via the REST API.
Currently I am hitting the following endpoint:
http://win-5a8pp4v402g/sharepoint_test/site_1/_api/web/getUserEffectivePermissions('win-5a8pp4v402g\\Sharepoint User 2')
However the response looks like this:
"d":
"GetUserEffectivePermissions":
"__metadata":
"type": "SP.BasePermissions"
"High": "0",
"Low": "0"
I cant understand why high and low are both 0? I have added the user to a specific group. Also this is the same result for each of the users. Another thing to note is that I havent added the "Guest" user in the sharepoint server. So when I hit the endpoint for the Guest user, it still shows the same response. So I know there is something I am doing wrong.I want to access permission of a user for a specific item, say a document using the REST API. Can someone tell me how? What would be the endpoint?

Thanks for the reply. Although this works for Lists, I need to get permissions of documents too. Here is what I have tried:
http://win-5a8pp4v402g/sharepoint_test/site_1/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/sharepoint_test/site_1/Documents/file1.txt')/GetUserEffectivePermissions(@user)?@user='i%3A0%23%2Ew%7Cwin-5a8pp4v402g%5Csharepoint%20user%201'
And the response is:
"error":
"code": "-1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ResourceNotFoundException",
"message":
"lang": "en-US",
"value": "Cannot find resource for the request GetUserEffectivePermissions."
Clearly this doesnt work for a file. Whats wrong?
