Operations on groups | Graph API reference

Applies to: Graph API | Azure Active Directory

This topic discusses how to perform operations on groups using the Azure Active Directory (AD) Graph API. With the Azure AD Graph API, you can create, read, update, and delete groups. You can also query members of a group, add and delete members from a group, check a group's membership in other groups, assign app roles to a group, and much more. Some group operations are transitive and others are scoped only to direct members of the group. Support for some operations varies between security groups, mail distribution groups, and mail-enabled security groups. Groups may have users, contacts, and other groups as members.

The Graph API is an OData 3.0 compliant REST API that provides programmatic access to directory objects in Azure Active Directory, such as users, groups, organizational contacts, and applications.

This article applies to Azure AD Graph API. For similar info related to Microsoft Graph API, see Working with groups in Microsoft Graph.

Importante

We strongly recommend that you use Microsoft Graph instead of Azure AD Graph API to access Azure Active Directory resources. Our development efforts are now concentrated on Microsoft Graph and no further enhancements are planned for Azure AD Graph API. There are a very limited number of scenarios for which Azure AD Graph API might still be appropriate; for more information, see the Microsoft Graph or the Azure AD Graph blog post in the Office Dev Center.

Performing REST operations on groups

To perform operations on groups with the Graph API, you send HTTP requests with a supported method (GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, or DELETE) to an endpoint that targets the groups resource collection, a specific group, a navigation property of a group or a function or action that can be called on a group. The following sections discuss how to target and compose operations on groups.

Graph API requests use the following basic URL:

https://graph.windows.net/{tenant_id}/{resource_path}?{api_version}[odata_query_parameters]

Importante

Requests sent to the Graph API must be well-formed, target a valid endpoint and version of the Graph API, and carry a valid access token obtained from Azure AD in their Authorization header. For more detailed information about creating requests and receiving responses with the Graph API, see Operations Overview.

You specify the {resource_path} differently depending on whether you are targeting the collection of all groups in your tenant, an individual group, or a navigation property of a specific group.

/groups targets the group resource collection. You can use this resource path to read all groups in your tenant or to create new security groups in your tenant.
/groups/{object_id} targets an individual group in your tenant. You specify the target group with its object ID (GUID). You can use this resource path to get the declared properties of a group, to modify the declared properties of a group, or to delete a security group.
/group/{object_id}/{nav_property} targets the specified navigation property of a group. You can use it to return the object or objects referenced by the target navigation property of the specified group; for example, the group's members. Note: This form of addressing is only available for reads.
/groups/{object_id}/$links/{nav_property} targets the specified navigation property of a group. You can use this form of addressing to both read and modify a navigation property. On reads, the objects referenced by the property are returned as one or more links in the response body. On writes, the objects are specified as one or more links in the request body.

For example, the following request returns a a collection of links to the members of the specified group :

GET https://graph.windows.net/myorganization/groups/ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffffffff/$links/members?api-version=1.6

Basic operations on groups

You can perform basic create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations on groups and their declared properties by targeting either the group resource collection or a specific group. The following topics show you how.

The Graph API supports operations on groups as follows:

Create (POST): security groups only.
Read (GET): all groups.
Update (PATCH): security groups and mail-enabled security groups. Not all properties are supported.
Delete (DELETE): security groups only.

Get groups

Gets a collection of groups. You can add OData query parameters to the request to sort, and page the response. For more information, see Supported Queries, Filters, and Paging Options.

On success, returns a collection of Group objects; otherwise, the response body contains error details. For more information about errors, see Error Codes and Error Handling.

GET https://graph.windows.net/myorganization/groups?api-version

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Value	Notes
Query
api-version	string	1.6	The version of the Graph API to target. Beginning with version 1.5, the api-version string is represented in major.minor format. Prior releases were represented as date strings: '2013-11-08' and '2013-04-05'. Required.

Create a group

Adds a security group to the tenant. The request body contains the properties of the group to be created. You must specify the required properties for the group. You can optionally specify any other writable properties.

Important: You can only create security groups with the Graph API. You cannot create mail-enabled security groups or mail distribution groups.

The following table shows the properties that are required when you create a group.

Required parameter	Type	Description
displayName	string	The name to display in the address book for the group.
mailEnabled	boolean	Must be false. This is because only pure security groups can be created using the Graph API.
mailNickname	string	The mail alias for the group.
securityEnabled	boolean	Must be true. This is because only pure security groups can be created using the Graph API.

On success, returns the newly created Group; otherwise, the response body contains error details. For more information about errors, see Error Codes and Error Handling.

Functions and actions on groups

You can call any of the following functions or actions on a group.

Check membership in a specific group (transitive)

You can call the isMemberOf function to check a user, contact, service principal, or another group for membership in a specific group. The check is transitive.

Check membership in a list of groups (transitive)

You can call the checkMemberGroups function to check a user, contact, service principal, or group for membership in a list of groups. The check is transitive.

Get all group memberships (transitive)

You can call the getMemberGroups function to return all the groups that a user, contact, service principal, or group is a member of. The check is transitive.

Get all group and directory role memberships (transitive)

You can call the getMemberObjects function to return all of the groups and directory roles that a user, contact, group, or service principal is a member of. The check is transitive.
