Get bitlockerRecoveryKey

Article
10/25/2024

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Retrieve the properties and relationships of a bitlockerRecoveryKey object.

By default, this operation doesn't return the key property that represents the actual recovery key. To include the key property in the response, use the $select OData query parameter. Including the $select query parameter triggers a Microsoft Entra audit of the operation and generates an audit log. For more information on audit logs for bitlocker recovery keys, see the KeyManagement category filter of Microsoft Entra audit logs.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	BitlockerKey.ReadBasic.All	BitlockerKey.Read.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	BitlockerKey.ReadBasic.All	BitlockerKey.Read.All

Important

For delegated permissions, the calling user must be the registered owner of the device that the BitLocker recovery key was originally backed up from, or they must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra roles.The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation.

Cloud device administrator
Helpdesk administrator
Intune service administrator
Security administrator
Security reader
Global reader

HTTP request

To get the specified BitLocker key without returning the key property:

GET /informationProtection/bitlocker/recoveryKeys/{bitlockeryRecoveryKeyId}

To get the specified BitLocker key including its key property:
