How to Retrieve an Intune Endpoint Security Policy ID via Microsoft Graph
Question details
The user is attempting to retrieve a specific Intune Endpoint Security Policy ID using a Microsoft Graph query by filtering configurationPolicies by name, but the query fails to return the policy ID despite it being visible in Graph Explorer.
- Product
- Microsoft Graph API / Microsoft Intune
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Querying Intune endpoint security policies via Microsoft Graph API for automated device management or reporting.
- Observed behavior
- The policy appears normally when browsing in Graph Explorer, but applying a name filter to the configurationPolicies endpoint returns empty results or no policy ID.
Ensure you have the appropriate Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) permissions granted and consented, such as DeviceManagementConfiguration.Read.All, before attempting to query Intune policies via the Graph API.
Consult Microsoft Q&A for Dedicated API Support
Because this issue involves advanced syntax and specific behaviors of the Microsoft Graph API and Intune endpoints, reaching out to specialized Microsoft experts is the most effective approach.
Troubleshooting Graph API queries filtering configurationPolicies requires an in-depth understanding of OData query parameters and Intune-specific endpoint restrictions. Some properties like 'name' may not support the $filter query parameter depending on the exact beta or v1.0 endpoint used.
Open your web browser and visit the official Microsoft Q&A platform designed for IT professionals and developers.
Create a new post detailing the exact Graph endpoint you are hitting, the HTTP method, the specific $filter syntax you are using, and the permissions granted to your application.
Add the 'Microsoft Graph' and 'Microsoft Intune' tags to your question before submitting to ensure it reaches the dedicated support teams who can review the endpoint behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Graph API query not return the Intune policy ID?
This often happens if the specific property you are filtering on (like 'name') is not supported for $filter queries on that particular endpoint, or if your application lacks the sufficient read permissions in Microsoft Entra ID.
What permissions do I need to query Intune configuration policies?
Typically, you need the 'DeviceManagementConfiguration.Read.All' or 'DeviceManagementConfiguration.ReadWrite.All' delegated or application permissions granted and consented to in your tenant.
Can I use Graph Explorer to test Intune endpoint policies?
Yes, Microsoft Graph Explorer is an excellent tool to test your REST API calls and verify that the policies appear before integrating the API queries into your production automation scripts.
