        var options = new TokenCredentialOptions
        {
            AuthorityHost = AzureAuthorityHosts.AzurePublicCloud
        };
            var clientSecretCredential = new ClientSecretCredential(
            tenantId, clientId, clientSecret, options);
            var graphClient = new GraphServiceClient(clientSecretCredential, scopes);
        try

            var members = await graphClient.Groups["Your_Group_ID"].Members.Request().GetAsync();
            return Json(members);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            return Json("");
            throw;
