​
SYNOPSIS

Retrieves the owners of all or a specific Entra ID group.

​
SYNTAX

Get-MgGroupOwnerInfo [[-GroupId] <String>] [[-DisplayName] <String>] [-ExportToExcel]
 [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

​
DESCRIPTION

The Get-MgGroupOwnerInfo function queries Microsoft Entra ID via the Microsoft Graph API to return the owners of each group. Results can be filtered by a specific group ID or display name, and are exported to Excel by default. Groups with no owners are included in the output with an empty owner list, which is useful for identifying groups that lack an accountable owner. Note: This function is named Get-MgGroupOwnerInfo to avoid conflict with the built-in Microsoft Graph PowerShell cmdlet Get-MgGroupOwner.

​
