List createdObjects

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Get a list of directory objects that were created by the user. This API returns only those directory objects that were created by a user who isn't in any administrator role; otherwise, it returns an empty object.

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	Directory.Read.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All, User.Read.All, User.ReadWrite, User.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	User.Read	User.ReadWrite
Application	User.Read.All	Directory.Read.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All, User.ReadWrite.All

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.
