Microsoft Graph

Microsoft Graph provides a unified programmability model that you can use to access the tremendous amount of data in Microsoft 365, Windows 10, and Enterprise Mobility + Security, using REST APIs and client libraries. 

Users and Groups

A user in Microsoft Graph is one among the millions who use Microsoft 365 cloud services. It is the focal point whose identity is protected and access is well managed. Microsoft Graph makes this data available in rich contexts, with real-time updates, and deep insights, always only with the appropriate permissions.

A Microsoft 365 group is the entity that lets users collaborate. It integrates with other services, enabling richer scenarios in task planning, teamwork, education, and more.

Connecting Users' Data, Microsoft 365 Services, and your Apps

Starting with users and groups at the core, Microsoft Graph forms a network of Microsoft 365 services and features that manage, protect, and extract data to support a wide range of scenarios. Microsoft Graph lets you access this wealth of user data while always respecting proper authorization.

Services and Features

Some services in Microsoft Graph make their debut, whereas others have been well-known as standalone services and are now converging in Microsoft Graph. Their API sets follow a streamlined design as detailed in the Microsoft REST API guidelines and are now accessible through the single Microsoft Graph REST endpoint: graph.microsoft.com. Here is the full list of the major services and features by category.
