Example 2: Retrieve all built-in tasks supported for "joiner" workflows

Request

The following example shows a request. Because the category is a flagged enumeration that can be one of joiner, joiner,leaver, or leaver, the has operator checks tasks where the category includes "joiner".

HTTP

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/identityGovernance/lifecycleWorkflows/taskDefinitions?$filter=category has 'joiner'

C#

// 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.IdentityGovernance.LifecycleWorkflows.TaskDefinitions.GetAsync((requestConfiguration) =>
{
	requestConfiguration.QueryParameters.Filter = "category has 'joiner'";
});

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.

CLI

mgc identity-governance lifecycle-workflows task-definitions list --filter "category has 'joiner'"
