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.

Permission type Least privileged permissions Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account) OrgContact.Read.All Directory.Read.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All, Group.Read.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account) Not supported. Not supported.
Application OrgContact.Read.All Directory.Read.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All, Group.Read.All

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation.

  • Directory Readers - read basic properties
  • Global Reader
  • Directory Writers
  • Intune Administrator
  • User Administrator

Important

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.
