Fetch Azure AD Group details using Group Name.

[Abhilash]

Hi All,

We have a requirement that we need to add users to the Azure AD security group using the canvas app. We have the AD group name with us. Using the AD group name how we can find the Object OD of the group. How to achieve this requirement.

Any Sugession?

@Abhilash If you know the Group ID (you should be able to get it from your Admin), you can use the GetGroup function in the Azure Ad Connector to get the details.

Please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

Hi @Abhilash :

You could use this graph API to create a custom connector to search for the group by group name:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups?$filter=adatumisv_courses/displayName eq 'YourGroupName'

In addition,if you do not know how to create a custom connector,I think this link will help you a lot:

Hello,

I found one working solution (in my case).

There is just one condition :

You need to know at least one member of the security or distribution group.

1) Use Get-groups of a user (the known user as stated above). You then have a list of all the ID groups of the user

2) Next step is using Get-Group by using "value"; it gets all ID groups of the user one by one and gives the display name of each

3) Use the "Condition" to test if the group Display Name matches the targeted group

4) If condition is true, then you found the id group, congratulations !

For an unknow reason, it's never "True" for me in this demonstration, but it worked in another flow, with dynamics values...

But I hope you can understand the logic !
