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.

Create a new task definition.

For details about how to use this API to add pull printing support to Universal Print, see Extending Universal Print to support pull printing.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	❌

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	PrintTaskDefinition.ReadWrite.All	Not available.

Example

Request

The following example shows a request.

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/print/taskDefinitions
Content-type: application/json

{
  "displayName": "Test TaskDefinitionName",
  "createdBy": {
    "displayName": "Requesting App Display Name"
  }
}


// Code snippets are only available for the latest version. Current version is 5.x

// Dependencies
using Microsoft.Graph.Beta.Models;

var requestBody = new PrintTaskDefinition
{
	DisplayName = "Test TaskDefinitionName",
	CreatedBy = new AppIdentity
	{
		DisplayName = "Requesting App Display Name",
	},
};

// To initialize your graphClient, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/sdks/create-client?from=snippets&tabs=csharp
var result = await graphClient.Print.TaskDefinitions.PostAsync(requestBody);

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
