Hi @Kelly ,

Per my test, I could get the same result as yours on my end.

Currently, Site resource does not expose Owner property. You could submit the request feature here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365-developer-platform/idb-p/Microsoft365DeveloperPlatform

As a workaround, you could get the default library owner in the site. The default library owner would be the site owner. Below is the endpoint to get the sites drive, there is a owner property in the response:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/drive

Hi @MichaelHan-MSFT ,

is there any option to get not only the owner but the members of a site, too? I need to find out if a site has external members and if so who they are.

Thanks!
