List device transitive memberships

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Get the groups and administrative units that the device is a member of. This API request is transitive, and will also return all groups and administrative units the device is a nested member of.

Permissions

One of the following permissions is required to call this API. To learn more, including how to choose permissions, see Permissions.

Permission type	Permissions (from least to most privileged)
Delegated (work or school account)	Directory.Read.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.
Application	Directory.Read.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All

When an application queries a relationship that returns a directoryObject type collection, if it does not have permission to read a certain derived type (like device), members of that type are returned but with limited information. With this behaviour applications can request the least privileged permissions they need, rather than rely on the set of Directory.* permissions. For details, see Limited information returned for inaccessible member objects.

HTTP request

You can address the device using either its id or deviceId.

GET /devices/{id | userPrincipalName}/transitiveMemberOf
GET /devices(deviceId='{deviceId}')/transitiveMemberOf

Optional query parameters

This method supports the OData query parameters to help customize the response, including $search, $count, and $filter. OData cast is also enabled, for example, you can cast to get just the directoryRoles the user is a member of. You can use $search on the displayName and description properties. When items are added or updated for this resource, they are specially indexed for use with the $count and $search query parameters. There can be a slight delay between when an item is added or updated and when it is available in the index.

Request headers

Header	Value
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required.
ConsistencyLevel	eventual. This header and $count are required when using the $search, $filter, $orderby, or OData cast query parameters. It uses an index that might not be up-to-date with recent changes to the object.

Request body

Do not supply a request body for this method.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and collection of directoryObject objects in the response body.

Example 1: Get groups that the device is a transitive member of
