Definitions

Name	Description
GraphServicePrincipal
ReferenceLinks	The class to represent a collection of REST reference links.

GraphServicePrincipal

Name	Type	Description
_links	ReferenceLinks	This field contains zero or more interesting links about the graph subject. These links may be invoked to obtain additional relationships or more detailed information about this graph subject.
applicationId	string
descriptor	string	The descriptor is the primary way to reference the graph subject while the system is running. This field will uniquely identify the same graph subject across both Accounts and Organizations.
directoryAlias	string	The short, generally unique name for the user in the backing directory. For AAD users, this corresponds to the mail nickname, which is often but not necessarily similar to the part of the user's mail address before the @ sign. For GitHub users, this corresponds to the GitHub user handle.
displayName	string	This is the non-unique display name of the graph subject. To change this field, you must alter its value in the source provider.
domain	string	This represents the name of the container of origin for a graph member. (For MSA this is "Windows Live ID", for AD the name of the domain, for AAD the tenantID of the directory, for VSTS groups the ScopeId, etc)
isDeletedInOrigin	boolean	When true, the group has been deleted in the identity provider
legacyDescriptor	string	[Internal Use Only] The legacy descriptor is here in case you need to access old version IMS using identity descriptor.
mailAddress	string	The email address of record for a given graph member. This may be different than the principal name.
metaType	string	The meta type of the user in the origin, such as "member", "guest", etc. See UserMetaType for the set of possible values.
origin	string	The type of source provider for the origin identifier (ex:AD, AAD, MSA)
originId	string	The unique identifier from the system of origin. Typically a sid, object id or Guid. Linking and unlinking operations can cause this value to change for a user because the user is not backed by a different provider and has a different unique id in the new provider.
principalName	string	This is the PrincipalName of this graph member from the source provider. The source provider may change this field over time and it is not guaranteed to be immutable for the life of the graph member by VSTS.
subjectKind	string	This field identifies the type of the graph subject (ex: Group, Scope, User).
url	string	This url is the full route to the source resource of this graph subject.

ReferenceLinks

The class to represent a collection of REST reference links.

Name	Type	Description
links	object	The readonly view of the links. Because Reference links are readonly, we only want to expose them as read only.
