List groups

Namespace: microsoft.graph

List all the groups available in an organization, excluding dynamic distribution groups. To retrieve dynamic distribution groups, use the Exchange admin center.

This operation returns by default only a subset of the properties for each group. These default properties are noted in the Properties section. To get properties that are not returned by default, do a GET operation for the group and specify the properties in a $select OData query option. The hasMembersWithLicenseErrors and isArchived properties are an exception and are not returned in the $select query.

Note: This request might have replication delays for groups that were recently created, updated, or deleted.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

HTTP request

GET /groups

Optional query parameters

This method supports the $count, $expand, $filter, $orderby, $search, $select, and $top OData query parameters to help customize the response. $skip isn't supported. 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.

To list only Microsoft 365 groups (aka unified groups), apply a filter on groupTypes:

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups?$filter=groupTypes/any(c:c+eq+'Unified')

The $search query parameter supports tokenization only on the displayName and description fields and requires the ConsistencyLevel header. Fields other than displayName and description default to $filter startswith behavior.

Extension properties also support query parameters as follows:

Extension type Comments
Schema extensions Returned only with $select.
Open extensions Returned only with $expand.
Directory extensions Returned by default.

For more information on OData query options, see OData query parameters. For more information about the use of ConsistencyLevel and $count, see Advanced query capabilities on directory objects.

Filter by group types

Group type API request
Microsoft 365 (unified) groups GET /groups?$filter=groupTypes/any(c:c+eq+'Unified')
Security groups GET /groups?$filter=mailEnabled eq false&securityEnabled eq true
Mail-enabled security groups GET /groups?$filter=NOT groupTypes/any(c:c eq 'Unified') and mailEnabled eq true and securityEnabled eq true&$count=true **
Distribution groups GET /groups?$filter=NOT groupTypes/any(c:c eq 'Unified') and mailEnabled eq true and securityEnabled eq false&$count=true **

** : This example is only supported with advanced query capabilities.

Request headers

Name Description
Authorization Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
ConsistencyLevel eventual. This header and $count are required when using $search, or in specific usage of $filter. For more information about the use of ConsistencyLevel and $count, see Advanced query capabilities on directory objects.

      }
   ]
}

Example 3: Get only a count of groups

Request

The following example shows a request. This request requires the ConsistencyLevel header set to eventual because $count is in the request. For more information about the use of ConsistencyLevel and $count, see Advanced query capabilities on directory objects.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/$count
ConsistencyLevel: eventual

Response

The following example shows the response.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-type: text/plain

Example 4: Use $filter and $top to get one group with a display name that starts with 'a' including a count of returned objects

Request

The following example shows a request. This request requires the ConsistencyLevel header set to eventual and the $count=true query string because the request has both the $orderby and $filter query parameters. For more information about the use of ConsistencyLevel and $count, see Advanced query capabilities on directory objects.

Note: The $count and $search query parameters are currently not available in Azure AD B2C tenants.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups?$filter=startswith(displayName, 'a')&$count=true&$top=1&$orderby=displayName
ConsistencyLevel: eventual
