Why is the manager/id filter returning only the manager?

Question

As per the doc page on advanced filters, the filter manager/id should return users who have that manager assigned.

Instead it returns the manager. Is this a bug?

GET https://gragph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$select=id,displayName&$filter=manager/id eq '.....manager's ID..'

Hi @Sonia Bounardjian

There seems to be an issue with this advanced filter.

However, there seems to be a specific API for your use case (to get direct reports)

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-list-directreports?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/directReports

Alternatively you can also use

GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}?$expand=directReports
