Hello,
I'm trying to extract the users of an azure group, I use first a function ''GetToken'' to get the token, then I use this function to get the users :
let
Source = (GroupID as text)=>
let
token= GetToken() ,
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://graph.microsoft.com",
[
RelativePath = "v1.0/groups/" & GroupID & "/members?$top=500",
Headers=[Authorization="Bearer " & token]
])),
#"Converted to Table" = Record.ToTable(Source),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Converted to Table", each ([Name] <> "@odata.nextLink")),
Value = #"Filtered Rows"{1}[Value],
#"Converted to Table1" = Table.FromList(Value, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table1", "Column1", {"@odata.type", "id", "businessPhones", "displayName", "givenName", "jobTitle", "mail", "mobilePhone", "officeLocation", "preferredLanguage", "surname", "userPrincipalName"}, {"Column1.@odata.type", "Column1.id", "Column1.businessPhones", "Column1.displayName", "Column1.givenName", "Column1.jobTitle", "Column1.mail", "Column1.mobilePhone", "Column1.officeLocation", "Column1.preferredLanguage", "Column1.surname", "Column1.userPrincipalName"}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded Column1",{"Column1.@odata.type", "Column1.businessPhones", "Column1.jobTitle", "Column1.mobilePhone", "Column1.officeLocation", "Column1.preferredLanguage", "Column1.givenName", "Column1.surname", "Column1.userPrincipalName"}),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Columns",{{"Column1.displayName", "Analytics Full Name"}, {"Column1.mail", "Analytics Login"}, {"Column1.id", "User id"}})
in
#"Renamed Columns"
in
Source The problem is that the maximum I can get is only 500 users ( Meanwhile I have about 100 000 )
I checked some documentation and found out that with the $top parametre, power bi is supposed to give the rest of the users using the odatalink. I tried to do it with a recursive function :
let
GetMembersRecursive = (url as text, token as text) =>
let
response = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url, [Headers=[Authorization="Bearer " & token]])),
members = response[value],
nextLink = Record.Field(response, "@odata.nextLink", null),
result =
if nextLink <> null then
List.Combine({members, GetMembersRecursive(nextLink, token)})
else
members
in
result
in
GetMembersRecursiveThen the new code to get the users :
let
GetUsersForADGroup = (GroupID as text) =>
let
token = GetToken(),
url = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/" & GroupID & "/members?$top=500",
members = GetMembersRecursive(url, token),
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(members, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"id", "displayName", "mail"}, {"User id", "Analytics Full Name", "Analytics Login"})
in
#"Expanded Column1"
in
GetUsersForADGroupBut unfortuanatly it's not working, I still get errors. Does anyone have another lead? or is there another way to do it without the recursive function ?

This will be agonizingly slow, no matter what you do. See if you can find an AD extract that already has that information.
Anyway, here is the reference function for API paging.
