directoryObject: getByIds

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Return the directory objects specified in a list of IDs. Only a subset of user properties are returned by default in v1.0.

Some common uses for this function are to:

  • Resolve IDs returned by functions (that return collections of IDs) such as getMemberObjects or getMemberGroups to their backing directory objects.
  • Resolve IDs persisted in an external store by the application to their backing directory objects.
