Custom roles are not returned when i query a users memberof endpoint in graph api

Question

Hi, I have used graph api users memberOf endpoint to get the roles assigned for a user . The response from the endpoint returns all the groups and roles that is assigned for that user , but the custom defined role is not returned . Is there any other way to get the roles assigned for a user.

Thanks.

Hi @Harishankar B

After my tests, which work well, I created a role named Test Role and granted it to a user, as shown in the image below.

In Graph Explorer, you can obtain all the roles granted by the following request, including custom roles.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/roleManagement/directory/roleAssignments?$filter=principalId+eq+'<object-id-of-principal>'

As shown in the image, the first one is a custom role for me.

Hope this helps.
