Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Retrieve the properties and relationships of a bitlockerRecoveryKey object.

By default, this operation does not 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. You can find the log in Microsoft Entra audit logs under the KeyManagement category.

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:

GET /informationProtection/bitlocker/recoveryKeys/{bitlockeryRecoveryKeyId}?$select=key

Optional query parameters

This method supports the $select OData query parameter to return the key property. For details, see Example 2. For general information, see OData query parameters.

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
User-Agent	The identifier for the calling application. This value contains information about the operating system and the browser used. Required.
ocp-client-name	The name of the client application performing the API call. This header is used for debugging purposes. Optional.
ocp-client-version	The version of the client application performing the API call. This header is used for debugging purposes. Optional.

Request body

Don't supply a request body for this method.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and a bitlockerRecoveryKey object in the response body.

Examples

Example 1: Get the BitLocker key by specifying the key id

Request

The following example shows a request. This example does not return the key property.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/informationProtection/bitlocker/recoveryKeys/b465e4e8-e4e8-b465-e8e4-65b4e8e465b4
User-Agent: Dsreg/10.0 (Windows 10.0.19043.1466)
ocp-client-name: My Friendly Client
ocp-client-version: 1.2


// Code snippets are only available for the latest version. Current version is 5.x

// To initialize your graphClient, see https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/graph/sdks/create-client?from=snippets&tabs=csharp
var result = await graphClient.InformationProtection.Bitlocker.RecoveryKeys["{bitlockerRecoveryKey-id}"].GetAsync((requestConfiguration) =>

	requestConfiguration.Headers.Add("ocp-client-name", "My Friendly Client");
	requestConfiguration.Headers.Add("ocp-client-version", "1.2");
});

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.
