You may run Azure CLI commands with --debug. The log shows the underlying HTTP requests.

Specifically, az ad group show internally calls Get group Microsoft Graph API.

As a REST API can change its design and behavior, it is difficult for CLI's document to keep synchronized with the REST API.

Possible solution (Extracted from existing issue, might be incorrect; please verify carefully)

The CLI reference should list what permissions are required to run each command. To be honest, I'm surprised this wasn't considered a bare minimum essential requirement for the documentation.
