Hello

Hope someone can put me on the right path with this question. I have some users added to an AD Group. The AD group is added to a SharePoint Group to provide permission.

Now from a SPFx web part, within code, how do i resolve users within the AD group if i query the SharePoint Group. This code did not work:
await web.siteGroups.getByName('SP Group Name').users

If the above is not possible, is it possible to query the AD Group directly. I am trying to do the following but not working either:
pnp.sp.utility.searchPrincipals("AD Group Name", PrincipalType.All, PrincipalSource.All, "", 10)

So my question is can we resolve users in an AD group that's added to a SharePoint group from SPFx code?
Or can we resolve users in an AD Group directly from SPFx code?

Thanks in advance

Hi @Mike-tech you can use graph to check group membership - the SharePoint methods aren't really designed to parse AD groups.
