Enumerating Office 365 resources using Cayosoft Graph Module

Enumerating objects and resources

To enumerate objects (or resources) of any type, call Get-CGraph command with resource type as a parameter:

Get-CGraph users

Get-CGraph groups

 

To enumerate objects using beta endpoint, add -Beta parameter:

Get-CGraph users -Beta

 

To read specific properties, list them in -Properties (or -Select) parameter:

Get-CGraph users -Properties Department

 

To apply filter to a result set, specify filter in -Filter parameter or -ODataFilter. The -Filter parameter accepts filter string in a form, similar to AD cmdlets -Filter parameter, see details in the about_ActiveDirectory_Filter article. The -ODataFilter parameter accepts filter string in OData format, as described in the "Filter parameter" section of the "Use query parameters to customize responses" article.

Get-CGraph groups -Filter 'GroupTypes -eq "Unified"'

Get-CGraph groups -beta -ODataFilter "resourceProvisioningOptions/Any(x:x eq 'Team')"

 

 

Enumerating related objects or resources

Most of objects or resources in Graph have related objects. For example, user has related activities, calendar, groups he is member of, owned devices or object and so on. See Relationships section in the Microsoft Graph > User documentation article.

You can enumerate related resources using one of two methods: providing -Parent parameter, or piping Get-CGraph command, that returns a parent object, to a Get-CGraph command, enumerates related objects.

Get-CGraph ownedObjects -Parent "users/andy@cayosoft.com"

 

 Get-CGraph users -ID andy@cayosoft.com | Get-CGraph ownedObjects
