List device transitive memberships

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Get groups and administrative units that the device is a member of. This API request is transitive, and will also return all groups and administrative units the device is a nested member of.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

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)	Device.Read.All	Directory.Read.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Device.Read.All	Directory.Read.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All

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.

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
• Global Reader
• Intune Administrator
• Windows 365 Administrator

HTTP request

You can address the device using either its id or deviceId.

GET /devices/{id}/transitiveMemberOf
GET /devices(deviceId='{deviceId}')/transitiveMemberOf

Optional query parameters

This method supports the $select, $search, $count, and $filter OData query parameters to help customize the response. OData cast is also enabled, for example, you can cast to get just the directoryRoles the device is a member of. You can use $search on the displayName and description properties. The default and maximum page sizes are 100 and 999 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.

Request headers

Header	Value
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
ConsistencyLevel	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 collection of directoryObject objects in the response body.

Example 1: Get groups that the device is a transitive member of
