Get group

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Get the properties and relationships of a group object.

This operation returns by default only a subset of all the available properties, as noted in the Properties section. To get properties that are not returned by default, specify them in a $select OData query option. The hasMembersWithLicenseErrors and isArchived properties are an exception and are not returned in the $select query.

Note: This request might have replication delays for groups that were recently created, updated, or deleted.
