/me$expand=transitiveMemberOf is returning memberOf, not transitiveMemberOf

Question

I'm trying to get all groups the signed in user is a part of (both direct and indirect) using the /me endpoint with the $expand=transitiveMemberOf query (it has to be using expand due to the implementation).

This query, however, seems to be returning the same as using $expand=memberOf.
I'm aware the $expand query has an issue with only returning 20 items, but memberOf is returning 5. Even transitiveMemberOf should be just returning 11.

I'm stumped here! Any help very much appreciated :)

Hi @Phil Hughes

You should call the /getMemberGroups endpoint to get all groups the signed in user is a part of (both direct and indirect). Check for this one is Transitive, so you're assured that all groups will be returned.

Not sure I understand why you need to use $expand here? The "direct" calls seems to work fine for me:

https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/memberOf?$count=true (returns 35 entries)
vs
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/transitiveMemberOf?$count=true (returns 38 entries)

Answer 3

I am seeing exactly the same issue. Expand for transitiveMemberOf is returning JUST content of MemberOf, a.k.a. incomplete results.
