Fetch Manager from Azure AD via Graph API

Pankaj Singh 0

Hi,

I am using the below query to fetch the manager details from Azure AD via Graph API but it never returns the manager although the Graph API documentation suggests Manager should be a part of the response. My response does not contain the manager attribute or its value.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$select=id,userPrincipalName,jobTitle,surname,displayName,mail,employeeId,city,companyName,employeeLeaveDateTime,country,department,onPremisesDistinguishedName,accountEnabled,signInActivity,onPremisesSamAccountName,postalCode,officeLocation,manager,mailNickname,createdDateTime

Please advise.

Thanks

Hi @Pankaj Singh

The manager is not a basic attribute of the user and will not be returned by default. You can expand this attribute through the $expand query parameter.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$expand=manager&$select=id,userPrincipalName,jobTitle,surname,displayName,mail......

Hope this helps.

Hi Carl,

Thanks for your reply. Just wondering if I can both user and manager attributes in the same response. I wish to fetch below user details along with their Manager email and name.

city,companyName,employeeLeaveDateTime,country,createdDateTime,department,onPremisesDistinguishedName,displayName,mail,employeeId,accountEnabled,signInActivity,userPrincipalName,jobTitle,surname,onPremisesSamAccountName,postalCode,officeLocation,mailNickname

Thanks

Hi @Pankaj Singh

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, you can use both user and manager attributes in the same response.

Call this API endpoint:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$expand=manager($select=userPrincipalName,mail)&$select=id,city,companyName,employeeLeaveDateTime,country,createdDateTime,department,onPremisesDistinguishedName,displayName,mail,employeeId,accountEnabled,signInActivity,userPrincipalName,jobTitle,surname,onPremisesSamAccountName,postalCode,officeLocation,mailNickname

Thanks,

Carl
