Need to filter only a few directory roles from a list of 50+ based on displayName. Is there a way to achieve this? As I am unable to use multiple one filter condition at once in the URI
Working -
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/directoryRoles?$filter=displayName eq 'xxxx' Not working -
Tried using advanced query params, but it seems that those are not supported with directoryRoles resource.

As mentioned in the documentation, this method only supports filtering via the eq operator, so you cannot use startsWith. In effect, you can only use $filter to match the full name of the role:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/directoryRoles?$filter=displayName eq 'Global Reader'
Hello Vasil, thanks for the quick confirmation.
Is there a way, let's say, that I could filter 3 directoryRoles in one call? How would I go about using the syntax for $filter? As using multiple filter in single call is not allowed.
Afaik no, sorry. But since you have only few dozen role objects to begin with, you can just fetch them all and filter client-side.
Yup, would do just that. Thanks once again!
