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.

Retrieve the properties and relationships of an administrativeUnit object.

Since the administrativeUnit resource supports extensions, you can also use the GET operation to get custom properties and extension data in an administrativeUnit instance.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

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