On the platform I have a manager for this Department but cannot see it in the api. Is there a different end point i should be looking at?

Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi JacquesSA,

    Are you looking for department manager or employee's manager?

    If you are looking for employee's manager then you can see below post.

    paragchapre.com/.../

    If you can show me where you can find the department manager then I can help you to find the right API's.

    Hi Parag

    Thank you for getting back to me.

    I'll only have time tomorrow to look at it in detail and will revert back. That however is getting data from the tables.

    I'm currently using the OData web api found at mydomain.sandbox.operations.dynamics.com/.../, so I'm limited to the endpoints available there.

    If you dont mind, please let me know in the meantime as to where I can find the department manager as well.

    Thank you.

    Regards
