I need to know the way to get the users of a specific group through the REST API of Azure DevOps Server 2022, that is, on-premise. We are going to use as an example url 192.168.0.1 and the DefaultCollection as practice purposes. I have searched the documentation but when I try to apply them in my case they don't work for me, I get a 404 Not Found.
For now I am doing:
http://192.168.0.1:8080/tfs/_apis/groupentitlements?api-version=6.0-preview.1 http://192.168.0.1:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/_apis/groupentitlements?api-version=6.0-preview.1
Neither seems to work. They throw 404.
I don't know if it has something to do with it, but I was reading on this website that a "vsaex" prefix is used for groupentitlements, "vssps" for graph and "status" for status, so I tried the following: http://vsaex.192.168.0.1:8080/tfs/_apis/groupentitlements?api-version=6.0-preview.1 http://vsaex.192.168.0.1:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/_apis/groupentitlements?api-version=6.0-preview.1
Again, neither seems to work.
Also I tried differents api-versions, or without using any of them. I don't have any trouble using other parts of the REST API, e.g.: I can get Projects of a collection, Teams by Project, etc. and they work fine.
After some research I found that with this call you can GET what I was searching.
- http://{server:port}/tfs/{collection}/_api/_identity/ReadGroupMembers?scope={groupId}&readMembers=true&api-version=6.0
you can do that.
If you need the groupId you can get it from:
- http://{server:port}/tfs/{collection}/_apis/identities?searchFilter=General&filterValue={group
Name}&api-version=6.0
If you have more than 1 group called the same, search in the response the group that you want in providerDisplayName property -> [{ProjectName}]\\{Group Name} There you will get the groupId and from that you can get the Members of a Group
The weird thing is that you have tu use _api/_identity instead of _apis/identities.
