Quite interesting video, but very hard to see. There where you defined "Upn", "grouped", and so on. Could you tell me the exact format/syntax? { "upn": "UPN", } `? I am running this part where "https" comes in, but it is taking over 10 minutes and got an error: "Flow run timed out". I have a lot of users (like 3-4k) and maybe around 200 groups together, which is true. I adjusted the pagination, but it still takes time. Is that normal? Thanks!

I would expect it to take over 10 minutes for that many, the for-each loops take a long time. You might try setting the degrees of parallelism to 1 in the settings on the loops - slowing it down actually speeds it up because it keeps you from getting throttled. Are you looking for the append to members array text? That one is this: { "upn": "@{items('Apply_to_each_group_member')?['userPrincipalName']}", "userId": "@{items('Apply_to_each_group_member')?['id']}", "groupId": "@{items('Apply_to_each')?['id']}", "userRole": "Member" } Append to owners array is this: { "upn": "@{items('Get_owners_for_each_group')?['userPrincipalName']}", "userId": "@{items('Get_owners_for_each_group')?['id']}", "groupId": "@{items('Apply_to_each')?['id']}", "userRole": "Owner" } The compose step after that is this: [ @{variables('groupMembers')}, @{variables('groupOwners')} ]

Thank you for this video. I'm trying to use this workflow to get group members from a security group in Entra. I'm hoping this will work. I think I added the Append to array variable groupMembers the way you described, but I'm not sure since I can't see the detail in the video. I keep getting a error message that says, Enter a valid JSON. Is this correct? { "upn":"@{item()?['userPrincipalName']}", "userid":"@{item()?['id']}", "groupid"@{item()?['id']}", "userrole": "Member" } Any ideas? Well, I answered my own question when I pasted my action here. I missed a : and " on groupid.

Assuming I have last modified date in the table, how can I list all Teams/Groups not modified in last 6 months, 1 year, etc.? I'm not very good with DAX and not sure what formula to use for this.
@bi-ome
@bi-ome Ай бұрын
I would just drop the modified date into the filter pane or a slicer - there's a relative date option there that will let you do last x days/months/years. You'd only need DAX if you were trying to measure something related to the modified date (like counting stale groups).

I am trying to adapt your tutorial and loop through members of one particular big group (the first one) to get their emails and then send a http request to graph api where I query users/mail/transitivemberof/ a second group that starts with a name in order to return the createddatetime when that user has been added to the second group. And for the life of me I cannot figure out how to return a json with a user email, created date time (date when an user was added to second group) and display name of that group. Can you please advise how to return that?
@bi-ome
@bi-ome 23 күн бұрын
I don't think you can query the timestamp that a user was added to a group with this - I think you'd have to get that from the audit log activity data. My guess is the created datetime for a user is the date the user was created. If you're trying to get group membership though, I would query to get the group ID with the "starts with" first, then do a second query to get the members of that group ID instead of trying to do both in the same query.

This is great! Thanks. Unfortunately my flow fails as there's too many groups/members in my environment. Is there a way to get members from only one specific group?
@bi-ome
@bi-ome 7 ай бұрын
Oh totally, there’s a separate action for that - I think it’s called “list group members” and it has you select a specific group. If you search for “Groups” there’s a whole set of actions to do things with specific groups. :)

User permissions are in the Power BI Admin API: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/admin/users-get-user-artifact-access-as-admin The PBI admin API is on my to-do list for sure, it’s just a matter of time - been short on that lately. 😅

Why did you do this with power automate in the middle, instead of directly via MS Graph queries inside PowerBI only? Thinking the method in the video means you've got priviledged data sitting in SharePoint in raw format in your JSONs
@bi-ome
@bi-ome 7 ай бұрын
Querying APIs directly in PBI is a pain, particularly when you get into pagination… if I were to do it anywhere serious it’d be a real ETL tool to put it in a database table, but this isn’t a data engineering channel. SharePoint is as secure as the site you store it in… I would not put this in a public site obviously, but I think it’d be fine in an IT team site or similar. In the grand scheme of things user and group membership is not particularly sensitive in comparison to what is regularly stored in SP in everyday use.

@bi-ome

Yes, you can either just put a list of the group IDs in an array and loop over those if you know which you want, or you can use filters on a Graph API query to get a list of specific groups on some criteria: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/filter-query-parameter?tabs=http (then use the resulting group IDs in your loop).

I think you'd have to query the audit logs for that. I found a thread on it here but there's not a ton of info on this.

Is there a way to use a forms as trigger and to get the list of the groups that owned by the responder on forms.
@bi-ome
@bi-ome 5 ай бұрын
I think you could probably use the HTTP action to call the Graph API to get this. I can't find an example in the documentation, but this thread has an example where they get groups for a specific user that would probably work. You'd use this on the MS Forms trigger for when a response is created and pull the submitter's username from the trigger (you might need to get their user ID from the "get user profile" first, I can't recall if the email will work directly). edit - forgot the link: stackoverflow.com/questions/73048102/how-to-receive-list-of-groups-that-user-is-member-of-in-powerapp

Hmm, I'm not sure offhand why that would be. I vaguely recall testing this with a non-privileged test account so I don't think it's permissions. Is the HTTP connector blocked perhaps? Or double check the code, usually when I get internal errors with these it's because I forgot a comma or a bracket or something.

@@bi-ome appreciate your reply to my comment. I figured out I had enclosed Group ID in the graph query within curly braces, after hours of trial removing those worked. Wish the error was more meaningful! In my case I'm fetching Group IDs from SPO list as I need to only report on a handful of Team members. I liked the way you're reporting the result of flow in P BI, really cool :)

Did you possible paste in the content as the example and not the body output? There are a couple of boxes in the flow history for the step, make sure to copy the right one. The schema I used was this, in case you want to just roll with that: { "type": "object", "properties": { "value": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "object", "properties": { "id": { "type": "string" }, "displayName": { "type": [ "string", "null" ] }, "givenName": { "type": "string" }, "surname": { "type": "string" }, "userPrincipalName": { "type": "string" }, "@odata.type": { "type": "string" } }, "required": [ "@odata.type", "id", "displayName", "givenName", "mail", "surname", "userPrincipalName" ] } }, "@odata.context": { "type": "string" } } }
