# Get PurviewRoleReport

## SYNOPSIS

Reports on Purview RBAC roles and their effective membership, including groups expanded recursively.

## SYNTAX

```powershell theme={null}
Get-PurviewRoleReport [[-Identity] <String>] [[-PrincipalID] <String>] [[-PrincipalDisplayName] <String>]
 [-ShowGraph] [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION

Produces a report of the membership of Purview RBAC role groups.
By default, the report contains only the roles that have at least one member.

When a role member is itself a group (distribution group, mail-enabled security group,
dynamic distribution group, or a nested role group), its members are resolved recursively
and included in the report with DirectMember set to \$false and MemberViaGroup set to the
name of the group that is a direct member of the role.
Circular group references are
detected and skipped automatically.

## EXAMPLES

```powershell theme={null}
Get-PurviewRoleReport
```

### EXAMPLE 4

```powershell theme={null}
Get-PurviewRoleReport -PrincipalDisplayName 'Alice Doe'
```

Returns every Purview role assignment held by the user whose DisplayName is 'Alice Doe'.

### EXAMPLE 5

```powershell theme={null}
Get-PurviewRoleReport | Where-Object { $_.DirectMember -eq $false } | Format-Table Role, MemberName, MemberViaGroup
```

Lists all users/objects resolved through group membership, showing which group is a direct member of the role.

### EXAMPLE 6
