Get contactFolder

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Get a contact folder by using the contact folder ID.

There are two scenarios where an app can get another user's contact folder:

• If the app has application permissions, or,
• If the app has the appropriate delegated permissions from one user, and another user has shared a contact folder with that user, or, has given delegated access to that user. See details and an example.

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.

Delegated (work or school account)	Contacts.Read	Contacts.ReadWrite
