Can't add users to groups #917
Description
Describe the bug
I'm trying to add a user to a group as follows
export const addUserToGroup = async (userId: string, groupId: string) => {
try {
await client()
.groups.byGroupId(groupId)
.members.ref.post({
odataId: `https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/directoryObjects/${userId}`,
});
return true;
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error adding user to group:', error);
return false;
}I get the following error
Error adding user to group: {
errorEscaped: {
code: 'Request_BadRequest',
message: "Unrecognized query argument specified: '@id'.",
innerError: {
date: 2025-11-09T12:25:07.000Z,
requestId: 'xxx',
clientRequestId: 'xxx'
}
},
message: "Unrecognized query argument specified: '@id'.",
responseStatusCode: 400,
responseHeaders: {
'client-request-id': [ 'xxx' ],
'content-encoding': [ 'gzip' ],
'content-type': [ 'application/json' ],
date: [ 'Sun', ' 09 Nov 2025 23:25:07 GMT' ],
'request-id': [ 'xxx' ],
'strict-transport-security': [ 'max-age=31536000' ],

'{"ServerInfo":{"DataCenter":"Australia East"',
'"Slice":"E"',
'"Ring":"5"',

]
}
}

I'm happy to generate a PR with the above if the fix is sensible.
I'm also new to the API so it's possible my code is not taking the right approach

Thanks for raising this John Ferlito (@johnf)
Raising a PR to change that wouldn't really help as that code is generated from the specification that we have for Microsoft Graph using kiota
The invalid URI Template was introduced in bf57e0d
Tracing it back, we use a single UrlTemplate per request builder that represents all of the requests for a given path segment. The changes made in microsoft/kiota#3989 made the required
@idparameter for the delete a required part for all the requests and broke the POST operation here.I'm transferring this to the kiota repo as that's where the fix needs to happen.
This will be impacting all languages :|

Gavin Barron (@gavinbarron) Did you end up opening the other issue? I had a quick look but couldn't find it.

Gavin Barron (@gavinbarron) The linked issue from your last reply was closed - should we close this issue as well?
