directoryObject: getByIds

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Return the directory objects specified in a list of IDs. Only a subset of user properties are returned by default in v1.0.

Some common uses for this function are to:

  • Resolve IDs returned by functions (that return collections of IDs) such as getMemberObjects or getMemberGroups to their backing directory objects.
  • Resolve IDs persisted in an external store by the application to their backing directory objects.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Permissions

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.

Permission type Least privileged permissions Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account) Directory.Read.All Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account) Not supported. Not supported.
Application Directory.Read.All Not available.

Important

When an application queries a relationship that returns a directoryObject type collection, if it doesn't have permission to read a certain resource type, members of that type are returned but with limited information. For example, only the @odata.type property for the object type and the id is returned, while other properties are indicated as null. With this behavior, 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.
