Retrieve SharePoint groups (owner, members, visitors) from MSGraph API

Question

Hi,
In a SharePoint site, we have site members that we can fetch directly from Graph Api.
SharePoint has other groups of users that are listed in Settings > Site Permissions. In that we have list of Owners, Members, Visitors). Is there any way we can fetch these groups using graph Api.

Hi Narinder

To get the SharePoint site group name using Microsoft Graph API, you can try it from Ms Graph Explorer and later try to use call the MS Rest API from apps.

Please note that by default, MS Graph API has not exposed such endpoints to access SharePoint site groups. However, you can consider using the alternative method of accessing the hidden list “User Information List” that stores users (including groups) information. You can get the group name through this list. The endpoint is: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{siteid}/lists/User Information List/items?expand=fields You may filter further or iterate based on the object content-type "SharepointGroup'

Here is sample screenshot.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Hi @Narinder Paul, After searching the document of graph api, there is no dedicated endpoint in Microsoft Graph to get SharePoint Group permissions or their members currently. If you want to get the list of all users & groups in SharePoint site, you can query "User Information List" like:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{siteid}/lists/User Information List/items?expand=fields
