Listing users and sub-groups inside a group separately about odata-client

[shubhamarora97]

Ah I forgot there is another way of doing this (I added support for this a couple of weeks ago for another user):

Try:

CollectionPage<User> page = client.users().memberOf().filter(User.class).get();

I tried this example and it worked for me.
CollectionPage page = client.users().members().filter(User.class).get();

Now, I am able to list sub-groups and users in a group separately.
Thanks a lot for the response and have a good day.

Client side filtering using streams and select to reduce data downloaded:

List<User> users = client //
    .groups() //
    .select("id,groupTypes") //
    .stream() //
    .filter(g -> {
        List<String> types = g.getGroupTypes().toList();
        return types.contains("Unified") || types.isEmpty();
    }) //
    .flatMap(g -> g.getMembers().filter(User.class).stream()) //
    .collect(Collectors.toList());

I know this compiles but I haven't tested it live.

One last thing, we can filter groups with odata-client on the basis of group-type which can be unified or null(i.e- Security and Office 365 group)
In Graph API 1.0 we cannot filter with group-type property.

So groupType is a collection itself in a group so you'd need to look for some contains operator in a filter. If you want all users in groups of a certain group-type or group-types then I doubt you'd be able to do it in one call (OData does not give you full sql-like join control). Just return the appropriate groups then on each group return the users. Are there so many groups returned that you can't filter client side? If you are concerned with bringing back lots of data in these calls then use .select and .metadataNone().

Thanks for the information.

A bit more googling would have got you there. There is an isOf operator you can use in a filter:

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/directoryObjects/delta?$filter=isOf('Microsoft.Graph.User')+or+isOf('Microsoft.Graph.Group')

From https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/directoryobject-delta?view=graph-rest-beta&tabs=http#request-3

I was referring to the documentation for Microsoft Graph API 1.0.
I did not want to use the beta version for Microsoft Graph API.

What version are you using?

When I try client.users() there is no .members() method.

[davidmoten]

Ah you mean client.groups().members()?

[shubhamarora97]

Ah you mean client.groups().members()?

Yes.

Ripper, glad you're sorted.

[shubhamarora97]

Ah you mean client.groups().members()?

Yes, groups().members().
It was a typo.
