Operations on contacts | Graph API reference

Applies to: Graph API | Azure Active Directory

This topic discusses how to perform operations on organizational contacts using the Azure Active Directory (AD) Graph API. Organizational contacts typically represent users who are external to your company or organization. They are different from O365 Outlook personal contacts. With the Azure AD Graph API, you can read organizational contacts and their relationships to other directory objects, such as their manager, direct reports, and group memberships. The ability to write organizational contacts is limited to those contacts that are not currently synced from an on-premises directory (the dirSyncEnabled property is null or false). For such contacts, you can update or delete the contact itself or its manager property. You cannot create organizational contacts with the Graph API. For more information about organizational contacts, including how they are created in your tenant, see Contact.

The Graph API is a REST-based API that provides programmatic access to directory objects in Azure Active Directory, such as users, groups, organizational contacts, and applications.

This article applies to Azure AD Graph API. For similar info related to Microsoft Graph API, see orgContact resource type.

Performing REST operations on contacts

To perform operations on organizational contacts with the Graph API, you send HTTP requests with a supported method (GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, or DELETE) to an endpoint that targets the contacts resource collection, a specific contact, a navigation property of a contact, or a function or action that can be called on a contact.

Graph API requests use the following basic URL:

    https://graph.windows.net/{tenant_id}/{resource_path}?{api_version}[odata_query_parameters]

You specify the {resource_path} differently depending on whether you are targeting the collection of all contacts in your tenant, an individual contact, or a navigation property of a specific contact.

• /contacts targets the contact resource collection. You can use this resource path to read all contacts or a filtered list of contacts in your tenant.
• /contacts/{object_id} targets an individual contact in your tenant. You specify the target contact with its object ID (GUID). You can use this resource path to get the declared properties of a contact. For contacts that are not synced from an on-premises directory, you can use this resource path to modify the declared properties of a contact, or to delete a contact.
• /contacts/{object_id}/{nav_property} targets the specified navigation property of a contact. You can use it to return the object or objects referenced by the target navigation property of the specified contact. Note: This form of addressing is only available for reads.
• /contacts/{object_id}/$links/{nav_property} targets the specified navigation property of a contact. You can use this form of addressing to both read and modify a navigation property. On reads, the objects referenced by the property are returned as one or more links in the response body. Only the manager navigation property of contacts that are not synced from an on-premises directory can be modified. The manager is specified as a link in the request body.

For example, the following request returns a link to the specified contact's manager:

    GET https://graph.windows.net/myorganization/contacts/a2fb3752-08b4-413d-af6f-1d99c4c131d9/$links/manager?api-version=1.6

Basic operations on contacts

You can perform read operations on contacts by targeting either the contact resource collection or a specific contact. You can update and delete contacts that are not synced from an on-premises directory by targeting a specific contact. The Graph API does not support creating contacts. Nor does it support updating or deleting contacts that are synced from an on-premises directory (the dirSyncEnabled property is true). The following topics show you how to perform basic operations on contacts.

Get contacts

Gets a collection of contacts. You can add OData query parameters to the request to filter, sort, and page the response. For more information, see Supported Queries, Filters, and Paging Options.

On success, returns a collection of Contact objects; otherwise, the response body contains error details. For more information about errors, see Error Codes and Error Handling.

Get a contact's group memberships

Gets the contact's group memberships from the memberOf navigation property.

This property returns only groups that the contact is a direct member of. To get all of the groups that the contact has direct or transitive membership in, call the getMemberGroups function.

On success, returns a collection of links to the Groups that this contact is a member of; otherwise, the response body contains error details. For more information about errors, see Error Codes and Error Handling.

Note: You can remove the "$links" segment from the URL to return the DirectoryObjects for the groups instead of links.

GET https://graph.windows.net/myorganization/contacts/{object_id}/$links/memberOf?api-version

Parameters

GET https://graph.windows.net/myorganization/contacts/31944231-fd52-4a7f-b32e-7902a01fddf9/$links/memberOf?api-version=1.6

Functions and actions on contacts

You can call any of the following functions on a contact.

Check membership in a specific group (transitive)

You can call the isMemberOf function to check for membership in a specific group. The check is transitive.

Check membership in a list of groups (transitive)

You can call the checkMemberGroups function to check for membership in a list of groups. The check is transitive.

Get all group memberships (transitive)

You can call the getMemberGroups function to return all the groups that the contact is a member of. The check is transitive, unlike reading the memberOf navigation property, which returns only the groups that the contact is a direct member of.
