Major services and features in Microsoft Graph

Microsoft Graph enables you to integrate with the best of Microsoft 365, Windows, and Enterprise Mobility + Security services in Microsoft 365, using REST APIs and client libraries. Additionally, it offers security and intelligence that can boost user productivity, creativity, and team collaboration, and protect business resources and users' data.

Users and groups

At the core of Microsoft Graph are the concepts of the user and group.

A user in Microsoft Graph is one among the millions who use Microsoft 365 cloud services. It is the focal point whose identity is protected and access is well-managed. The user's data is what drives businesses. Microsoft Graph services make this data available to businesses in rich contexts, real-time updates, and deep insights, and always only with the appropriate permissions.

A Microsoft 365 group is the fundamental entity that lets users collaborate. It integrates with other services, enabling richer scenarios in task planning, teamwork, education, and more.
