Get a list of the group's members. A group can have different object types as members. For more information about supported member types for different groups, see Group membership.
This operation is transitive and returns a flat list of all nested members. An attempt to filter by an OData cast that represents an unsupported member type returns a 400 Bad Request error with the Request_UnsupportedQuery code.
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.
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.
Note: To list the members of a hidden membership group, the Member.Read.Hidden permission is required.
HTTP request
GET /groups/{id}/transitiveMembers
Optional query parameters
This method supports the OData query parameters to help customize the response, including $search, $count, $top, and $filter. You can use $search on the displayName and description properties. You can also filter the results on the OData type, such as microsoft.graph.user or microsoft.graph.group.
This API returns up to 100 member objects by default. The maximum page size that you can request through the $top query parameter is 999 objects.
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 a collection of directoryObject objects in the response body.
An attempt to filter by an OData cast that represents an unsupported member type returns a 400 Bad Request error with the Request_UnsupportedQuery code. For example, /groups/{id}}/transitiveMembers/microsoft.graph.group when the group is a Microsoft 365 group will return this error, because Microsoft 365 groups cannot have other groups as members.
