Does management group descendants API return only the active entities?

Rachana Pole 5

Hi team,

We have a query if the below query list only for ACTIVE ENTITIES? If not, is there an API to list only ACTIVE entities under management groups ?

GET https://management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/{groupId}/descendants?api-version=2020-05-01

Hello Rachana Pole,

Apologies for the delay in response.

We could not see any query to list only for ACTIVE ENTITIES in your question. However, As there is no direct API to list only Active entities under management groups, all we have to do is use optional parameters to filter the results, including filtering by the status of the entities to list only active ones.

here is the request preview of the API that will give you the list of only active entities. Please try out and let us know the results.

POST https://management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Management/getEntities?api-version=2020-05-01 Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Bearer <your-access-token> { "$filter": "status eq 'Active'" }
