How can I get more results from an expanded entity?

Question

Using this example

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$expand=memberOf  

This will return my users in Azure AD, and then have a list of the groups they are members of... as expected.

But what I have noticed is the list of groups only has a maximum of 20. Many many users have far more than 20 groups they are a member of.

What can I add to the query to allow me to return all groups that a user is a member of?

Answer 1

Hi @Gareth Doherty ,

This is a known limitation of $expand:Returns a maximum of 20 objects., you have to look at alternatives and work with direct /users/{id}/memberOf API.

GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/memberOf  

Hope this helps.

Thanks @SrinivasaRaoDarnaMSFT-7657 I knew I was missing something.

My org has 1000's of Groups and 1000's of members/users.

Doing any sort of Loop over either of those numbers to get all the details is going to be interesting :)

I did see that the Group graph has a Delta endpoint, so possibly I can do one big data seed, then just use deltas there after to keep it in sync with my system.
