Get a list of the group's direct members. A group can have users, organizational contacts, devices, service principals and other groups as members. This operation is not transitive.
Important
This API has a known issue where service principals are not listed as group members in v1.0. As a workaround, use this API on the beta endpoint or use the /groups/{id}?$expand=members API. For more information, see the related known issue.
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.
When an application queries a relationship that returns a directoryObject type collection, if it doesn't have permission to read a certain resource type, members of that type are returned but with limited information. For example, only the @odata.type property for the object type and the id is returned, while other properties are indicated as null. With this behavior, applications can request the least privileged permissions they need, rather than rely on the set of Directory.* permissions. For details, see Limited information returned for inaccessible member objects.
In delegated scenarios, the signed-in user must also be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with the microsoft.directory/groups/members/read or microsoft.directory/groups/members/limitedRead role permission, or microsoft.directory/groups/hiddenMembers/read role permission to read hidden members. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation:
SharePoint Administrator - Including hidden members
Intune Administrator - Including hidden members
Teams Administrator - Including hidden members
Yammer Administrator - Including hidden members
To list the members of a hidden membership group, the Member.Read.Hidden permission is also required.
HTTP request
GET /groups/{id}/members
Optional query parameters
This method supports the $filter, $count, $select, $search, $top, $search, and $expandOData query parameters to help customize the response. The default and maximum page sizes are 100 and 999 group objects respectively. Some queries are supported only when you use the ConsistencyLevel header set to eventual and $count. For more information, see Advanced query capabilities on directory objects.
OData cast is also enabled. For example, /groups/{id}}/members/microsoft.graph.user retrives group members that are users.
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}}/members/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.
