List group transitive members

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Get a list of the group's members. A group can have different object types as members. For more information about supported member types for different groups, see Group membership.

This operation is transitive and returns a flat list of all nested members. An attempt to filter by an OData cast that represents an unsupported member type returns a 400 Bad Request error with the Request_UnsupportedQuery code.

[!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]

Note: To list the members of a hidden membership group, the Member.Read.Hidden permission is required.

HTTP request

GET /groups/{id}/transitiveMembers

Optional query parameters

This method supports the $count, $filter, $search, $select, and $top OData query parameters to help customize the response.

  • OData cast is enabled. For example, /groups/{id}/transitiveMembers/microsoft.graph.user retrieves only users that are members of a group.
  • $search is supported on the displayName and description properties only.
  • The default and maximum page size is 100 and 999 group objects respectively.
  • The use of query parameters with this API, except for $expand, is supported only with advanced query parameters. $expand isn't supported with advanced query parameters. For more information, see Advanced query capabilities on directory objects.

Request headers

Name Description
Authorization Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
ConsistencyLevel eventual. This header and $count are required when using the $search, $filter, $orderby, or OData cast query parameters. It uses an index that might not be up-to-date with recent changes to the object.

Request body

Don't supply a request body for this method.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and a collection of directoryObject objects in the response body.

An attempt to filter by an OData cast that represents an unsupported member type returns a 400 Bad Request error with the Request_UnsupportedQuery code. For example, /groups/{id}}/transitiveMembers/microsoft.graph.group when the group is a Microsoft 365 group will return this error, because Microsoft 365 groups cannot have other groups as members.
