How do I translate an internal team id to team group id?

Question

Hello, I'm working on building an application with the botbuilder framework and the microsoft graph API. I would like to be able to call the https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/teams/{group-id} set of endpoints when a user makes a request through my bot. However, I cannot find a way to get that group ID.

Using the TurnContext, I can get the internal team id via context.activity.channelData.team.id, but I cannot use this for the graph API as it is in the format of 19:***@thread.tacv2 instead of a GUID. How do I translate this to the teams GUID?

Answer 1

Found the answer: TeamsInfo.getTeamChannels(turnContext); will yield an object with

   {  
    "id": "<internal-id>",  
   "aadGroupId": "<team-guid>"  
   }

Hi @Jacob Linney

The "19:***@thread.tacv2" Id which you are getting is channel Id.

To get the teams in Microsoft Teams that the user is a direct member of you can use GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/joinedTeams this Graph API. This API will give you ID of all teams that user is member of.

If you want to list all the groups available in an organization, use GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups this Graph API endpoint.

Hope this helps.
