      Hi Saqib,

      Of course you can. Table Storage are exposed as OData endpoints.

      Try to direct an OData tool on your table URI (e.g. http://www.silverlight.net/content/samples/odataexplorer/).

      The issue you’ll probably have is that you’ll need to give some credentials to your OData proxy in order to authenticate with Azure Storage.

      But all of that is wrapped inside the Azure Storage SDK where you can do LINQ queries on tables without realizing you’re talking to an OData endpoint. Do you have specific requirements not to use that?

      Do you mean the “member” of an app, i.e. once you “Enabled for users to sign-in” the app?

      If so… I would say “you can’t” since Microsoft Graph API have no notion of apps nor Active Directory per se, it just happened to have the notion of users and groups which are managed in AAD.

      You can sort of get a directory object (see https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/api-reference/v1.0/api/directoryobject_get) which you could use to get a hold on an app (I haven’t tried it though). But even then, I don’t see any way to access the members of that app.

      You would need to use AAD Graph API (versus Microsoft Graph API ; I know not at all confusing). Please see https://msdn.microsoft.com/Library/Azure/Ad/Graph/api/api-catalog.

      That being said, interacting with apps isn’t documented. I’ve done it once by… doing it with PowerShell while sniffing the HTTP packets coming out of my PC and basically reverse engineering the HTTP call (it’s only one call). That call uses the AAD Graph API. I used Azure Active Directory V2 PowerShell module (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azuread/v2/azureactivedirectory) for that.

      Not sexy, but it worked.

         Hi Vincent, you’re right. The same thing I did and that I thought, but i can’t use AAD because it is not compatible with asp.net core project. So i have to use Microsoft Graph API.
         Thank’s very much!
