List manager

Namespace: microsoft.graph

[!INCLUDE beta-disclaimer]

Returns the user or organizational contact assigned as the user's manager. Optionally, you can expand the manager's chain up to the root node.

[!INCLUDE national-cloud-support]

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.

[!INCLUDE permissions-table]

[!INCLUDE limited-info]

HTTP request

Get the manager:

GET /me/manager
GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/manager

[!INCLUDE me-apis-sign-in-note]

Get the management chain:

GET /users?$expand=manager
GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/?$expand=manager($levels=n)

Optional query parameters

This method supports the $select and $expand OData query parameters to help customize the response. When using the $expand query parameter:

  • The n value of $levels can be max (to return all managers) or a number between 1 and 1000.
  • When the $levels parameter is not specified, only the immediate manager is returned.
  • You can specify $select inside $expand to select the individual manager's properties: $expand=manager($levels=max;$select=id,displayName).
  • $levels parameter is only supported on a single user (/users/{id} or me endpoints) and not on the entire list of users.
  • Use of $levels requires the ConsistencyLevel header set to eventual. For more information about the use of ConsistencyLevel, see Advanced query capabilities on directory objects.

Request headers

Header Value
Authorization Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
ConsistencyLevel eventual. Required when the request includes the $levels=n in the $expand query parameter.

Don't supply a request body for this method.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and a user object in the response body. If the user isn't assigned a manager, this method returns a 404 Not Found error code.
