group resource type

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Represents a Microsoft Entra group, a Microsoft 365 group, or a security group. This resource is an open type that allows other properties to be passed in.

Inherits from directoryObject.

For performance reasons, the create, get, and list operations return only a subset of more commonly used properties by default. These default properties are noted in the Properties section. To get any of the properties not returned by default, specify them in a $select OData query option.

This resource supports:
