Microsoft Graph API - Email sent to new users

Question

We're using the MS Graph API to create users on our Office 365 tenant which is a domain managed outside of Office 365. (e.g. users.ourcompany.com)

Since we're autogenerating the password for the users, we would like them to be aware of that password that they could use to login for the first time and reset it.

Does this API automatically trigger an email (containing their username and password) to the address as specified by the userPrincipalName user attribute? If not, is there a way to do it explicitly?

Answer 1

Assuming the admin creating a new user has an Exchange Online mailbox provisioned, you could send an email from that account using Graph.
