Tip
- Calling the
/me/transitiveMemberOfendpoint requires a signed-in user and therefore a delegated permission. Application permissions are not supported when you use the/me/transitiveMemberOfendpoint. - To list the members of a group with hidden membership, the
Member.Read.Hiddenpermission is required.

$searchis supported on the displayName property only.- The default and maximum page size is 100 and 999 objects respectively.
- The use of query parameters with this API is supported only with advanced query parameters. For more information, see Advanced query capabilities on directory objects.
