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.
When an application queries a relationship that returns a directoryObject type collection, if it does not have permission to read a certain derived type (like device), members of that type are returned but with limited information. 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 /groups/{id}/memberOf
Optional query parameters
This method supports the OData query parameters to help customize the response, including $select, $search, $count, and $filter. OData cast is also enabled, for example, you can cast to get just the groups the group is a member of. You can use $search on the displayName and description properties. The default and maximum page sizes are 100 and 999 objects respectively.
eventual. This header and $count are required when using the $search, $filter, $orderby, or OData cast query parameters. It uses an index that might not be up-to-date with recent changes to the object.
Request body
Don't supply a request body for this method.
Response
If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and collection of directoryObject objects in the response body.
