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.

Return all IDs for the groups, administrative units, and directory roles that an object of one of the following types is a member of:

• user
• group
• service principal
• organizational contact
• device
• directory object

This function is transitive. Only users and role-enabled groups can be members of directory roles.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

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