Advanced query capabilities on Microsoft Entra ID objects

Artikel
08/24/2024

Microsoft Graph supports advanced query capabilities on various Microsoft Entra ID objects, also called directory objects, to help you efficiently access data. For example, the addition of not (not), not equals (ne), and ends with (endsWith) operators on the $filter query parameter.

The Microsoft Graph query engine uses an index store to fulfill query requests. To add support for additional query capabilities on some properties, those properties might be indexed in a separate store. This separate indexing improves query performance. However, these advanced query capabilities aren't available by default but, the requestor must set the ConsistencyLevel header to eventual and, except for $search, use the $count query parameter. The ConsistencyLevel header and $count are referred to as advanced query parameters.

For example, to retrieve only inactive user accounts, you can run either of these queries that use the $filter query parameter.

Option 1: Use the $filter query parameter with the eq operator. This request works by default and doesn't require the advanced query parameters.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$filter=accountEnabled eq false


// Code snippets are only available for the latest version. Current version is 5.x

// To initialize your graphClient, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/sdks/create-client?from=snippets&tabs=csharp
var result = await graphClient.Users.GetAsync((requestConfiguration) =>
{
	requestConfiguration.QueryParameters.Filter = "accountEnabled eq false";
});



mgc users list --filter "accountEnabled eq false"



// Code snippets are only available for the latest major version. Current major version is $v1.*

)


requestFilter := "accountEnabled eq false"

requestParameters := &graphusers.UsersRequestBuilderGetQueryParameters{
	Filter: &requestFilter,
}
configuration := &graphusers.UsersRequestBuilderGetRequestConfiguration{
	QueryParameters: requestParameters,

// To initialize your graphClient, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/sdks/create-client?from=snippets&tabs=go

// Code snippets are only available for the latest version. Current version is 6.x

GraphServiceClient graphClient = new GraphServiceClient(requestAdapter);

UserCollectionResponse result = graphClient.users().get(requestConfiguration -> {
	requestConfiguration.queryParameters.filter = "accountEnabled eq false";
});


const options = {
	authProvider,

Option 2: Use the $filter query parameter with the ne operator. This request isn't supported by default because the ne operator is only supported in advanced queries. Therefore, you must add the ConsistencyLevel header set to eventual and use the $count=true query string.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$filter=accountEnabled ne true&$count=true
ConsistencyLevel: eventual


// Code snippets are only available for the latest version. Current version is 5.x

Microsoft Entra ID (directory) objects that support advanced query capabilities

Advanced query capabilities are supported only on directory objects and their relationships, including the following objects:

Object	Relationships
administrativeUnit	members
application	owners
appRoleAssignment	-
device	memberOf transitiveMemberOf registeredUsers registeredOwners
group	members transitiveMembers memberOf transitiveMemberOf owners appRoleAssignments
oAuth2PermissionGrant (delegated permission grants)	-
orgContact	memberOf transitiveMemberOf
servicePrincipal	memberOf transitiveMemberOf appRoleAssignments appRoleAssignmentsTo oAuth2PermissionGrant
user	memberOf transitiveMemberOf ownedObjects registeredDevices ownedDevices transitiveManagers directReports transitiveReports appRoleAssignments oAuth2PermissionGrant

Query scenarios that require advanced query capabilities

The following table lists query scenarios on directory objects that are supported only in advanced queries:

Description	Example
Use of `$count` as a URL segment	GET `~/groups/$count`
Use of `$count` as a query string parameter	GET `~/servicePrincipals?$count=true`
Use of `$count` in a `$filter` expression	GET `~/users?$filter=assignedLicenses/$count eq 0&$count=true`
Use of `$search`	GET `~/applications?$search="displayName:Browser"`
Use of `$orderby` on select properties	GET `~/applications?$orderby=displayName&$count=true`
Use of `$filter` with the `endsWith` operator	GET `~/users?$count=true&$filter=endsWith(mail,'@outlook.com')`
Use of `$filter` and `$orderby` in the same query	GET `../applications?$orderby=displayName&$filter=startsWith(displayName, 'Box')&$count=true`
Use of `$filter` with the `startsWith` operators on specific properties.	GET `~/users?$filter=startsWith(mobilePhone, '25478') OR startsWith(mobilePhone, '25473')&$count=true`
Use of `$filter` with `ne` and `not` operators	GET `~/users?$filter=companyName ne null and NOT(companyName eq 'Microsoft')&$count=true`
Use of `$filter` with `not` and `startsWith` operators	GET `~/users?$filter=NOT startsWith(displayName, 'Conf')&$count=true`
Use of `$filter` on a collection with `endsWith` operator	GET `~/users?$count=true&$filter=proxyAddresses/any (p:endsWith(p, 'contoso.com'))&$select=id,displayName,proxyaddresses`
Use of OData cast with transitive members list	GET `~/me/transitiveMemberOf/microsoft.graph.group?$count=true`

Note

Using $filter and $orderby together is supported only with advanced queries.
$expand is not currently supported with advanced queries.
The advanced query capabilities are currently not available for Azure AD B2C tenants.
To use advanced query capabilities in batch requests, specify the ConsistencyLevel header in the JSON body of the POST request.

Support for filter by properties of Microsoft Entra ID (directory) objects

Properties of directory objects behave differently in their support for query parameters. The following are common scenarios for directory objects:

The in operator is supported by default whenever eq operator is supported by default.
The endswith operator is supported only with advanced query parameters and only by mail, otherMails, userPrincipalName, and proxyAddresses properties.
Getting empty collections (/$count eq 0, /$count ne 0) and collections with less than one object (/$count eq 1, /$count ne 1) is supported only with advanced query parameters.
The not and ne negation operators are supported only with advanced query parameters.
- All properties that support the eq operator also supports the ne or not operators.
- For queries that use the any lambda operator, use the not operator. See Filter using lambda operators.

The following tables summarize support for $filter operators by properties of directory objects, and indicates where querying is supported through advanced query capabilities.

Legend

The $filter operator works by default for that property.
The $filter operator only works without advanced query parameters.
The $filter operator requires advanced query parameters, which are:
- ConsistencyLevel=eventual header
- $count=true query string
The $filter operator isn't supported on that property. Send us feedback to request that this property support $filter for your scenarios.
Blank cells indicate that the query isn't valid for that property.
The null value column indicates that the property is nullable and filterable using null.
Properties that aren't listed here don't support $filter at all.

Support for sorting by properties of Microsoft Entra ID (directory) objects

The following table summarizes support for $orderby by properties of directory objects and indicates where sorting is supported through advanced query capabilities.

The $orderby operator works by default for that property.
The $orderby operator requires advanced query parameters, which are:
- ConsistencyLevel=eventual header
- $count=true query string
Use of $filter and $orderby in the same query for directory objects always requires advanced query parameters. For more information, see Query scenarios that require advanced query capabilities.

Error handling for advanced queries on directory objects

The following section provides examples of common error scenarios when you don't use advanced query parameters where required.

Counting directory objects is only supported using the advanced queries parameters. If the ConsistencyLevel=eventual header isn't specified, the request returns an error when the $count URL segment (/$count) is used or silently ignores the $count query parameter (?$count=true) if it's used.

If a property isn't indexed to support a query parameter, the request returns an error even if advanced query parameters are specified. For example, the createdDateTime property of the group resource isn't indexed for query capabilities.

However, a request that includes query parameters might fail silently. For example, for unsupported query parameters and for unsupported combinations of query parameters. In these cases, examine the data returned by the request to determine whether the query parameters you specified had the desired effect. For example, in the following example, the @odata.count parameter is missing even if the query is successful.
