Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the path-expansion logic and compare navigation-property expansion for the id path with the alternate-key directoryRole examples; then assess the validity and impact across other paths. Done means the supported alternate-key navigation paths are defined and covered by appropriate validation.

Description

priority:p2 status:needs-discussion type:enhancement

Related to https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-dotnet/issues/2243

From the documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/directoryrole-list-members?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http#example-2-get-the-members-of-a-directory-role-using-roletemplateid

It should be possible to list the members of a directoryRole using id or using the roleTemplateId alternate key.

GET /directoryRoles/{role-id}/members
GET /directoryRoles(roleTemplateId='{roleTemplateId}')/members

At moment we do not expand paths with alternate keys even though they may have contained navigation properties. As these maybe be valid paths, we will need to investigate the validity and impact on path expansion across other paths.
