By default, this operation doesn't return the key property that represents the actual recovery key. To include the key property in the response, use the $select OData query parameter. Including the $select query parameter triggers a Microsoft Entra audit of the operation and generates an audit log. For more information on audit logs for bitlocker recovery keys, see the KeyManagement category filter of Microsoft Entra audit logs.
Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Important
For delegated permissions, the calling user must be the registered owner of the device that the BitLocker recovery key was originally backed up from, or they must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra roles.The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation.
Cloud device administrator

Global reader
HTTP request
To get the specified BitLocker key without returning the key property:
GET /informationProtection/bitlocker/recoveryKeys/{bitlockeryRecoveryKeyId}
To get the specified BitLocker key including its key property:
GET /informationProtection/bitlocker/recoveryKeys/{bitlockeryRecoveryKeyId}?$select=key
Optional query parameters
This method supports the $select OData query parameter to return the key property. For general information, see OData query parameters.
