List group owners

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Retrieve a list of the group's owners. The owners are a set of users or service principals who are allowed to modify the group object. Owners are currently not available in Microsoft Graph for groups that were created in Exchange or groups that are synchronized from an on-premises environment.

Note: Currently, service principals are not listed as group owners due to the staged rollout of service principals to the Microsoft Graph v1.0 endpoint.

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)	GroupMember.Read.All, Group.Read.All, GroupMember.ReadWrite.All, Group.ReadWrite.All, Directory.Read.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.
Application	GroupMember.Read.All, Group.Read.All, GroupMember.ReadWrite.All, Group.ReadWrite.All, Directory.Read.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

GET /groups/{id}/owners

Optional query parameters

This method supports the $filter, $count, $select, $search, and $expand OData query parameters to help customize the response. OData cast is also enabled, for example, you can cast to get just the group owners that are users. 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

Name	Type	Description
Authorization	string	Bearer {token}. Required.

Request body
