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 a filter to a result set, specify a 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 the objects or resources in Graph have related objects. For example, a user has related activities, calendars, groups he is a member of, owned devices or objects, and so on. See the 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
