Namespace: microsoft.graph

[!INCLUDE beta-disclaimer]

Return all the group IDs for the groups that the specified user, group, service principal, organizational contact, device, or directory object is a member of. This function is transitive.

This API returns up to 11,000 group IDs. If more than 11,000 results are available, it returns a 400 Bad Request error with the Directory_ResultSizeLimitExceeded error code. If you get the Directory_ResultSizeLimitExceeded error code, use the List group transitive memberOf API instead.
