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.

Retrieve the properties and relationships of a channel.

This method supports federation. Only a user who is a member of the shared channel can retrieve channel information.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

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.

This API supports admin permissions. Users with the Global Administrator or Microsoft Teams service admin roles can access teams that they aren't a member of.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	Channel.ReadBasic.All	ChannelSettings.ReadWrite.All, ChannelSettings.Read.All, Directory.Read.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All, Group.Read.All, Group.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	ChannelSettings.Read.Group	ChannelSettings.ReadWrite.Group, Channel.ReadBasic.All, ChannelSettings.Read.All, ChannelSettings.ReadWrite.All, Directory.Read.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All, Group.Read.All, Group.ReadWrite.All

Note

The ChannelSettings.Read.Group and ChannelSettings.ReadWrite.Group permissions use resource-specific consent.
The Group.Read.All, Group.ReadWrite.All, Directory.Read.All, and Directory.ReadWrite.All permissions are supported only for backward compatibility. We recommend that you update your solutions to use an alternative permission listed in the previous table and avoid using these permissions going forward.

Optional query parameters

This method supports the $filter and $select OData query parameters to help customize the response.

Note: The summary property can only be retrieved via the select parameter, as shown in Example 2 in this topic.

Request headers
