administrativeUnit resource type

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

An administrative unit provides a conceptual container for user, group, and device directory objects. With administrative units, a company administrator can now delegate administrative responsibilities to manage the users, groups, and devices contained within or scoped to an administrative unit to a regional or departmental administrator. For more information about administrative units, see Administrative units in Microsoft Entra ID.

This resource is an open type that allows other properties to be passed in.

This resource supports:

Properties

Important

Specific usage of $filter and the $search query parameter is supported only when you use the ConsistencyLevel header set to eventual and $count. For more information, see Advanced query capabilities on directory objects.

Property. Type Description
description String An optional description for the administrative unit. Supports $filter (eq, ne, in, startsWith), $search.
displayName String Display name for the administrative unit. Supports $filter (eq, ne, not, ge, le, in, startsWith, and eq on null values), $search, and $orderby.
id String Unique identifier for the administrative unit. Read-only. Supports $filter (eq).
isMemberManagementRestricted Boolean true if members of this administrative unit should be treated as sensitive, which requires specific permissions to manage. Default value is false. Use this property to define administrative units whose roles don't inherit from tenant-level administrators, and management of individual member objects is limited to administrators scoped to a restricted management administrative unit. Immutable, so can't be changed later.

For more information about working with restricted management administrative units, see Restricted management administrative units in Microsoft Entra ID.
membershipRule String The dynamic membership rule for the administrative unit. For more information about the rules you can use for dynamic administrative units and dynamic groups, see Manage rules for dynamic membership groups in Microsoft Entra ID.
membershipRuleProcessingState String Controls whether the dynamic membership rule is actively processed. Set to On to activate the dynamic membership rule, or Paused to stop updating membership dynamically.
membershipType String Indicates the membership type for the administrative unit. The possible values are: dynamic, assigned. If not set, the default value is null and the default behavior is assigned.
visibility String Controls whether the administrative unit and its members are hidden or public. Can be set to HiddenMembership or Public. If not set, the default value is null and the default behavior is public. When set to HiddenMembership, only members of the administrative unit can list other members of the administrative unit.

Tip

Directory extensions and associated data are returned by default while schema extensions and associated data returned only on $select.

Relationships

Relationship Type Description
extensions extension collection The collection of open extensions defined for this administrative unit. Nullable.
members directoryObject collection Users and groups that are members of this administrative unit. Supports $expand.
