  title: Microsoft Entra Find And Update Group
  summary: Find a group by display name, update it, and read it back.
  description: >-
    Locates a group in Microsoft Entra ID by filtering the groups collection on
    displayName, patches its description (and optionally visibility), and reads
    the group back to confirm the change. Because Graph update operations
    return 204 with no body, the final get retrieves the refreshed object.
    Every request is inlined so the chain reads end to end.
