List manager

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.

Returns the user or organizational contact assigned as the user's manager. Optionally, you can expand the manager's chain up to the root node.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

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

Permissions

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.

Permission type Least privileged permissions Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account) User.Read.All Directory.Read.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All, User.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account) Not supported. Not supported.
Application Not supported. Not supported.

Important

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.

HTTP request

Get the manager:

GET /me/manager
GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/manager

Get the management chain:

GET /users?$expand=manager
GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/?$expand=manager($levels=n)

Optional query parameters

This method supports the $select and $expand OData query parameters to help customize the response. When using the $expand query parameter:

  • The n value of $levels can be max (to return all managers) or a number between 1 and 1000.
  • When the $levels parameter is not specified, only the immediate manager is returned.
  • You can specify $select inside $expand to select the individual manager's properties: $expand=manager($levels=max;$select=id,displayName).
  • $levels parameter is only supported on a single user (/users/{id} or me endpoints) and not on the entire list of users.
  • Use of $levels requires the ConsistencyLevel header set to eventual. For more information about the use of ConsistencyLevel, see Advanced query capabilities on directory objects.
