Migrate your apps from Azure AD Graph to Microsoft Graph
Important
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Graph is deprecated and is in its retirement path. Going forward, we will make no further investment in Azure AD Graph, and Azure AD Graph APIs have no SLA or maintenance commitment beyond security-related fixes. Investments in new features and functionalities will only be made in Microsoft Graph.
June 30, 2023 will mark the end of the three-year deprecation period for Azure AD Graph. Before June 30, 2023, existing applications using Azure AD Graph will not be impacted. After June 30, 2023, Azure AD Graph will enter its retirement phase where we will retire it in incremental steps to allow you sufficient time to migrate your applications to Microsoft Graph APIs. The first step in this plan, and at a later date that we will announce, we will block the creation of any new applications using Azure AD Graph.

Why use Microsoft Graph?
Microsoft Graph represents our best-in-breed API surface. It offers a single unified endpoint to access Microsoft Entra services and Microsoft 365 services such as Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Intune. Microsoft Graph API's usage has more than doubled that of Azure AD Graph, and in the past two years we have added 167 new features. All new functionalities will only be available through the Microsoft Graph.
Microsoft Graph is also more secure and resilient than Azure AD Graph.
Microsoft Graph has all the capabilities that have been available in Azure AD Graph and new APIs like identity protection and authentication methods. Its client libraries offer built-in support for features like retry handling, secure redirects, transparent authentication, and payload compression.
Switch to Microsoft Graph to take advantage of these enhanced capabilities and:
- Microsoft 365 group management.
- External user invitations.
- The ability to restore users, Microsoft 365 groups, applications, and service principals after they've been deleted.
- Webhook notifications on users and groups.
- Advanced license management features including group-based licensing.
- Identity governance features such as:
- Privileged identity management (PIM) to elevate users to privileged roles only when needed and for a limited time period.
- Access reviews for one-time or recurring access reviews for attestation of user's access rights.
- Terms-of-use to enable organizations to present information for legal or compliance requirements, like disclaimer notices.
- Security features such as:
- Client libraries and samples available on many more platforms and languages. Microsoft Graph SDKs provide a discoverable interface to easily access your data while transparently handling token acquisition, retry handling due to errors and throttling, secure redirect handling and model serialization and deserialization.
- More OData query capabilities supported by resources such as users, groups, applications, and service principals.
