Is there a way to retrieve the Id of users manager when calling the user delta query?

Question

I am using the user delta query to get a list of users and their properties that have updated over period of time. I require certain fields to be returned from the graph each time so that I can update database. For most of the fields I need this is not a problem, as I can use the $select property to do this. The only field I am having trouble with is the manager. I have managed to get the delta query to return this when the manager itself is updated, but I would like to have the manager id return even if some field other than manager changes.

I am aware of a method to get this using regular user query, using $expand=manager($select=id,displayName), but this doesn't seem to work on delta query and I don't want to have to call the API twice to get the manager id.

Here is how I am currently initialising the query.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Hi @Aaron Milne

When you call the /users/delta endpoint, an array of manager@delta is returned, which contains the object id of the user's manager.
