How to create Microsoft 365/O365 Group with Teams using Graph API.

[SPDev_Support]

Seems creating Microsoft 365/O365 Group via CSOM not working. If you try to use SharePoint Client Side Object Model(CSOM) you might run into following exception:

Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerException
HResult=0x80131500
Message=The web template GROUP#0 is not available for sites on this tenant.
Source=Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime
StackTrace:
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientRequest.ProcessResponseStream(Stream responseStream)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientRequest.ProcessResponse()
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientRequest.ExecuteQueryToServer(ChunkStringBuilder sb)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext.ExecuteQuery()

We have to use Graph API and this sample should help get started. ROPC authentication is used. Delegated authentication should also work but not tested.

Setup Steps:
1] Setup Native App in AAD.
2] Copy the App Id as you will need to provide it later in the code.
3] Provide following Delegated Graph API permissions.

Groups.ReadWite.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All, openid, Team.Create, User.Read 
4] Grant Admin consent.
5] See screenshot below:
