Hi Taron1645 ,

azure permission looks good.

Try to change group settings from "Group Members" to "Everyone"

Hi Frederico,

Thanks for the response. Where can I see the group settings? For the AD application I am testing against, I see one user and role assigned is Default Access. Attached screenshot.

  Hi Taron1645
  1) Did you call correctly https://<<tenant>>.sharepoint.com/sites/pub1/_api/Web/ , without permissions problems?
  2) You can access to group settings in this way
  Select Site Actions > Site Settings > People and Groups.
  Select Settings > Group Settings
  For each group listed, Navigate to "Who can view the membership of the group?" section.
  Cheers,
  Federico

    Yes the issue is that I am able to access certain sites and get successful response and getting 401 unauthorized for others. I am not sure where the problem is.
    
    Below is the endpoint
    https://yyyy.sharepoint.com/sites/dept/XXXX/_api/Web/SiteGroups/GetById(6180)/Users
