Hello @Garcia Martin_ Emili , you can get the groups your user belongs to via the /memebrof endpoint. And get the type from property groupTypes .
However, currently Graph only support to distinguish Microsoft O365 groups, according to the documentation.
You can send a uservoice to submit the feature of distinguish other group type.
