Dynamics 365 API - Action AddMembersTeam

Question

I am using the API to add multiple users to a team in Dynamics. I have got the code working when I want to add a single users but I need it to work with adding a list of users.

I am using Python to make these calls.

Here is the documentation I am going off of in Dynamics

Here is part of my code:

        append_team_url = f"{BASE_DATA_URL}teams({team_guid})/Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.AddMembersTeam"
    team_data = {
                    "Members": [
                        {
                            "ownerid": users_add
                        }
                    ]
                }
    append_users_response = requests.post(append_team_url, headers=api_headers_no_return, data=json.dumps(team_data))

users_add is a list of GUID's:

['85927c2e-52e6-e511-80e7-0050569e0d14', 'ebb0ec50-733f-e811-a964-000d3a34edeb',

'd3d6ec34-df57-e511-80e4-0050569e44e8', '19452bf7-3b57-e511-80e4-0050569e44e8']

The error I get:

An error occurred while validating input parameters: Microsoft.OData.ODataException: An unexpected 'StartArray' node was found when reading from the JSON reader. A 'PrimitiveValue' node was expected.\r\n at Microsoft.OData.Json.JsonReaderExtensions.ValidateNodeType(IJsonReader jsonReader, JsonNodeType expectedNodeType)\r\n

Any help would be much appreciated!

I know I can just make the call in a loop in Python but based on the wording of the documentation it seems like it's possible to pass multiple users.

The payload should look like this, look at the Json array of users. Reference
