Is it possible to obtain the public/private information set in Outlook on retrieving events from Microsoft Graph?

Question

I'm trying to retrieve event information from Microsoft Graph, and I need to know if it's possible to get the public/private setting that's configured in Outlook.

Since I'm retrieving this with privileged administrator rights, there are no permission issues.

I've been looking at this documentation.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/event?view=graph-rest-1.0&source=docs

but I can't seem to find the answer. Specifically:

• Does the Graph API expose the public/private setting for Outlook events?
• If not, are there any plans to add this functionality in the future?

Answer 1

Hi Keizo Furukawa,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft!

Currently, the Microsoft Graph API does not expose the public/private setting for Outlook events directly. This setting is not available in the event resource properties as per the documentation.

Since this feature/functionality is presently not available, you can submit a feature request idea using this support link, which will be monitored by Microsoft team and make the enhancements to Microsoft Graph APIs. I will also upvote for you. 

However, it does provide a sensitivity property for events, which can be used to determine the visibility of an event. The sensitivity property can have values like normal, personal, private, or confidential. If an event is marked as private, its details are hidden from other users, depending on their permissions.

Hope this helps.
