Code Examples

C# / .NET SDK

// Install: dotnet add package Microsoft.Graph
// Install: dotnet add package Azure.Identity
using Microsoft.Graph;
using Azure.Identity;

// Delegated permissions - interactive user sign-in
var scopes = new[] { "ChangeManagement.Read.All" };
var options = new InteractiveBrowserCredentialOptions
{
    ClientId = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
    TenantId = "YOUR_TENANT_ID",
    RedirectUri = new Uri("http://localhost")
};
var credential = new InteractiveBrowserCredential(options);
var graphClient = new GraphServiceClient(credential, scopes);

// Example: GET /me
var result = await graphClient.Me.GetAsync();
Console.WriteLine($"User: {result?.DisplayName}");

// Application permissions - daemon/service app
var tenantId = "YOUR_TENANT_ID";
var clientId = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID";
var clientSecret = "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET";

var credential = new ClientSecretCredential(tenantId, clientId, clientSecret);
var graphClient = new GraphServiceClient(credential);

// Example: GET /users/{user-id}
var users = await graphClient.Users.GetAsync();
foreach (var user in users?.Value ?? [])
{
    Console.WriteLine($"User: {user.DisplayName}");
}
