Microsoft Graph API - is there a way to get the current user's groups filtered by their displayName?

I was trying to do something like this with the API to find specifc groups from the current user, but the API doesn't seem to support this type of request.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/memberOf?$filter=displayName eq 'Marketing Team'

{
    "error": {
        "code": "Request_UnsupportedQuery",
        "message": "The specified filter to the reference property query is currently not supported.",
    }
}

I also tried this approach, and while it does work, it brings all the groups, regardless if the user is part of them or not.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups?$filter=displayName eq 'Marketing Team' or displayName eq 'HR Team' or displayName eq 'IT Team'

I'm using the group results to assign authorities, so if I filter all the groups I will always get the three groups I'm looking for and everyone will have the three roles. If I just bring all the groups from the current user and filter them after, it makes the login too slow for users that are part of +500 groups.

Is there a way to look for the current user's groups with filters, without filtering on the client side to be more efficient?

Solution

  • The first query will work, but you need to add $count=true to the URL and add ConsistencyLevel request header with value Eventual.

    https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/memberOf?$filter=displayName eq 'Marketing Team'&$count=true

ConsistencyLevel=eventual

    It's so called advanced query in Graph API
