MS Entra – Groups – Get Group Owners

Get group owners from Entra ID.

Action details

Property	Value
Action label	MS Entra – Groups – Get Group Owners
Category	CloudTools
Apex class and method	GetEntraGroupOwners.getGroupOwners
Input type	GetEntraGroupOwners.GetEntraGroupOwnersInput
Output type	List<List<MSEntraGroupMember>>
Authorization	Microsoft 365 connector; supported authorization depends on the endpoint and target.
Microsoft Graph request	GET /groups/{groupId}/owners

Prerequisites and permissions

Configure a CloudTools Connector with Connector Type set to Microsoft 365. Complete sign-in for OAuth Delegated (Authorization Code). For supported OAuth Application (Client Credentials) requests, grant application permissions and administrator consent. The identity must have access to the selected resource; directory operations can also require Microsoft Entra roles. Use Creating an Entra ID App and Integration Connectors for setup.

The action permission provider declares these alternatives. They are not cumulative requirements or universally interchangeable; check the Microsoft reference for endpoint, target, and property restrictions.

Permission type	Declared alternatives
Delegated	GroupMember.Read.All, Group.ReadWrite.All, Directory.Read.All, Group.Read.All, GroupMember.ReadWrite.All
Application	GroupMember.Read.All, Group.ReadWrite.All, Directory.Read.All, Group.Read.All, GroupMember.ReadWrite.All

Endpoints: /groups/{groupId}/owners.

See the Microsoft operation and permissions reference.

Inputs

Input	Apex field	Type	Required	Description
Group Id	groupId	String	Yes	Group identifier

Supply a nonempty list with a non-null first request. Graph actions process only that first request. Global inputs do not expose connectorId; subscriber Apex and Flow use CloudTools connector selection. Use Microsoft Graph resource IDs or the specifically documented user identifier, and resolve dynamic values before invocation.

Outputs

Returns an outer list containing one resource collection. It is not one collection for every input request. A null response or unmapped value produces an empty inner collection.

Output	Apex field	Type	Description
Id	id	String	Unique identifier for the member
Display Name	displayName	String	Display name for the member
Mail	mail	String	Email address for the member
Business Phones	businessPhones	List<String>	Business phone numbers for the member
Given Name	givenName	String	Given name for the member
Job Title	jobTitle	String	Job title for the member
Mobile Phone	mobilePhone	String	Mobile phone number for the member
Office Location	officeLocation	String	Office location for the member
Preferred Language	preferredLanguage	String	Preferred language for the member
Surname	surname	String	Surname for the member
User Principal Name	userPrincipalName	String	User principal name for the member
OData Type	odataType	String	OData type for the member
Additional Properties	additionalProperties	List<DynamicObject>	Additional properties from user-defined query

Behavior and limits

This implementation maps the returned collection without following or exposing @odata.nextLink. A result can contain only the first page; do not treat it as a complete tenant or resource inventory.

Retrieves direct members or owners, not transitive membership. Microsoft can return limited properties for directory object types the caller lacks permission to read.

Use in Flow

Use MS Entra – Groups – Get Group Owners where supported. Use a Microsoft 365 application connector configured as Set as default for Flow automations only if the endpoint and target support application access. Supply required values, retain useful outputs, and add fault handling. Delegated connections are not supported for CloudTools Flow automation. The action processes only the first input request.

Use in custom Apex

This subscriber-org example uses the Apptigent namespace. Replace identifiers and example values before use. Configure the connector, complete authorization first, run in a context permitting callouts, and handle exceptions, empty results, and unmapped fields.

Apptigent.GetEntraGroupOwners.GetEntraGroupOwnersInput request =
    new Apptigent.GetEntraGroupOwners.GetEntraGroupOwnersInput();
request.groupId = 'f11f1340-30b1-4f1d-91ec-c853b7245646';



List<List<Apptigent.MSEntraGroupMember>> results =
    Apptigent.GetEntraGroupOwners.getGroupOwners(
        new List<Apptigent.GetEntraGroupOwners.GetEntraGroupOwnersInput>{ request }
    );
System.debug(results);

Use in a Lightning Web Component

Use getEntraGroupOwners from msEntraConnectorLib through MSEntraConnectorController. These c/ imports apply in the same namespace. Set request.connectorId for direct MSEntraAction calls. The controller captures the request selection for MSEntraAction.

Global input	LWC request mapping
groupId	request.groupId

entraActionExample.js

import { LightningElement } from 'lwc';
import { getEntraGroupOwners } from 'c/msEntraConnectorLib';

export default class EntraActionExample extends LightningElement {
    result = null;
    errorMessage = '';
    isRunning = false;
    completed = false;

    async handleRun() {
        if (this.isRunning || this.completed) return;
        this.isRunning = true;
        this.errorMessage = '';
        try {
            const request = { connectorId: 'REPLACE_WITH_CONNECTOR_RECORD_ID' };
            request.groupId = 'f11f1340-30b1-4f1d-91ec-c853b7245646';
            this.result = await getEntraGroupOwners(request);
            this.completed = true;
        } catch (error) {
            this.errorMessage = error.requiresInteractiveAuthorization
                ? 'Sign in to Microsoft for the connector, then try again.'
                : error.message || 'The Entra action failed.';
        } finally {
            this.isRunning = false;
        }
    }
}

entraActionExample.html

    <lightning-button label="Run action" onclick={handleRun}
        disabled={isRunning}></lightning-button>
    <p role="alert">{errorMessage}</p>
</template>

The library returns an array of mapped DTOs. The controller can flatten nested fields, serialize data, or map an action result into an operation DTO. rawJson contains serialized mapped Apex data rather than the untouched Graph response.

Use getMSEntraAuthorizationState, beginMSEntraAuthorization, and createMSEntraOAuthMessageHandler to arrange delegated sign-in. The library normalizes errors but does not automatically sign in or retry. Reset completed for a new deliberate operation, and inspect resource state before retrying a mutation with an uncertain outcome.

Error handling and troubleshooting

Symptom	What to check
Required fields error	Supply a nonempty request list and required or conditionally required inputs. For LWC, use the mapped field names.
Authorization or access denied	Check connector selection, sign-in, endpoint/target permission support, administrator consent, directory roles, and resource access.
Resource not found	Check Microsoft IDs and parent resource relationships. Preserve group/drive/item associations and mailbox/calendar/event IDs.
Missing or unexpected output	Check query support, pagination, wrapper versus item models, public-only properties, and mapped DTO fields.
Operation rejected	Inspect the Microsoft error, supported writable fields, group/calendar restrictions, recipient/license data, and file transfer limits.
