Hi @Abhijith Chandrababu,

To fetch the users who are in SharePoint default groups like Owners, Members, and Visitors, you can use the SharePoint REST API endpoint /_api/web/sitegroups/getbyname('Group Name')/users. Replace 'Group Name' with the name of the group you want to fetch users for. For example, to fetch users in the Owners group, use the endpoint /_api/web/sitegroups/getbyname('Owners')/users. You can also use the endpoint /_api/web/sitegroups to get information about all the groups in the site, including their ID and name.
