More about this script

Why use this template?

Use this Pro PowerShell script when you need to export owners for a specified entra group. It can be previewed in the Builder; Pro access is required to generate it for your own environment.

The template uses Microsoft.Graph.Groups and requires GroupMember.Read.All; User.ReadBasic.All. Output: CSV report. Level: Intermediate. Action: Read-only. Risk: Low.

Review before running

The script remains preview-only until Pro access is enabled. Review it before running it, and test it outside production first. “Read-only” describes the script itself; anything you add around it can still change data.

Preview the script

  1. Open the template in the PowerShell Builder.
  2. Review the purpose, requirements, permissions, output and risk.
  3. Activate Pro when you are ready to generate the full script, then test it outside production.

Pro templates remain previewable before purchase or activation. No tenant connection is required. When you generate a Pro script, only the configuration values needed for that template are sent to Opselith after license validation.Preview Export Entra group owners →

How to use this result

Use this report to export owner objects returned by Microsoft Graph for a specified Entra group.

When this helps

  • Review whether an Entra group has an accountable owner before access or lifecycle changes.
  • Capture owner object IDs and available user or service-principal metadata for follow-up.

How to read the result

  • Owners are directory objects allowed to modify the group object; an owner is not automatically a member of every workload that uses the group.
  • Microsoft Graph has owner-listing limitations for some Exchange-created distribution groups and groups synchronized from on-premises environments.

Things to check

  • An empty result is not always proof that no owner exists; confirm whether the selected group type is supported by the Graph owners relationship.
  • The report does not assign, remove or validate the business appropriateness of owners.

What to do next: Confirm unexpected or missing ownership with the workload owner before changing the group's owner list.
