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.
Get the properties and relationships of a group object.
This operation returns by default only a subset of all the available properties, as noted in the Properties section. To get properties that aren't_ returned by default, specify them in a $select
OData query option. The hasMembersWithLicenseErrors and isArchived properties are an exception and aren't returned in the $select
query. Because the group resource supports extensions, you can also use the GET
operation to get custom properties and extension data in a group instance.
This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Response
If successful, this method returns a 200 OK
response code and group object in the response body. It returns the default properties unless you use $select
to specify specific properties.
Example
Example 1: Return all default properties
