Hi everyone,
I’m developing a canvas Power App and need to validate if a Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) group exists.
I have a TextInput named txti_GroupName and a button named btn_SearchGroup. The user types the group name into the TextInput, and upon clicking the button, I want to check if the group exists.
I’ve tried using the Microsoft Entra ID connector with the GetGroup action, but it seems this action requires a valid object identifier and does not allow searching by name directly. I also tried using ListGroups, but it is not available in this connector.
The company has more than 700,000 groups, so fetching all records locally is not a viable option.
I need to search for groups that are of type “Microsoft 365”, “Distribution”, “Mail enabled security”, etc. With the Office365Groups connector, I can only manage Microsoft 365 groups.
Does anyone know how I can delegate the search for groups by name using the Microsoft Entra ID connector in Power Apps? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
