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.

Get the properties and relationships of a device object.

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

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)	Device.Read.All	Directory.Read.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Device.Read.All	Device.ReadWrite.All, Directory.Read.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation.

Users
Directory Readers
Directory Writers
Compliance Administrator
Device Managers
Application Administrator
Security Reader
Security Administrator
Privileged Role Administrator
Cloud Application Administrator
Customer LockBox Access Approver

Examples

Example 1: Get a device

Request

The following example shows a request.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/devices/000005c3-b7a6-4c61-89fc-80bf5ccfc366
