List users

Namespace: microsoft.graph

[!INCLUDE beta-disclaimer]

Retrieve a list of user objects. This API also returns agentUser objects.

This operation returns by default only a subset of the more commonly used properties for each user and agentUser. These default properties are noted in the Properties section. To get properties that are not returned by default, do a GET operation and specify the properties in a $select OData query option.

Important

Guest users cannot call this API. For more information about the permissions for member and guest users, see What are the default user permissions in Microsoft Entra ID?.

[!INCLUDE national-cloud-support]

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type Least privileged permission Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account) User.ReadBasic.All User.Read.All, User.ReadWrite.All, Directory.Read.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account) Not supported. Not supported.
Application User.Read.All User.ReadWrite.All, Directory.Read.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All

Permissions for specific scenarios

  • User-Mail.ReadWrite.All is the least privileged permission to read and write the otherMails property; also allows to read some identifier-related properties on the user object.
  • User-PasswordProfile.ReadWrite.All is the least privileged permission to read and write password reset-related properties; also allows to read some identifier-related properties on the user object.
  • User-Phone.ReadWrite.All is the least privileged permission to read and write the businessPhones and mobilePhone properties; also allows to read some identifier-related properties on the user object.
  • User.EnableDisableAccount.All + User.Read.All is the least privileged combination of permissions to read and write the accountEnabled property.

HTTP request

The following URL returns a list of user and agentUser objects, with agentUser objects containing an @odata.type property of #microsoft.graph.agentUser.

GET /users

Optional query parameters

This method supports OData query parameters to help customize the response:

  • $count, $expand, $filter, $orderby, $search, $select, $top. $skip is not supported.
  • To filter agent users from the result set, use the isof function: $filter=isof('microsoft.graph.agentUser') returns agent users only while $filter=not isof('microsoft.graph.agentUser') excludes agent users.
  • Page size limits: The default page size is 100 objects. The maximum page size is 999 objects, except when using $select=signInActivity or $filter=signInActivity, the maximum page size is 500.
  • Some queries require the ConsistencyLevel header set to eventual and $count. For more information, see Advanced query capabilities on directory objects.
  • The $count and $search parameters are not available in Azure AD B2C tenants.

Extension properties also support query parameters as follows:

Extension type Comments
onPremisesExtensionAttributes 1-15 Returned only with $select. Supports $filter (eq, ne, and eq on null values).
Schema extensions Returned only with $select. Supports $filter (eq, ne, and eq on null values).
Open extensions Returned only with $expand, that is, users?$expand=extensions.
Directory extensions Returned only with $select. Supports $filter (eq, ne, and eq on null values).

For agentUser objects, non-applicable properties are always null.

Certain properties cannot be returned within a user collection. The following properties are only supported when retrieving a single user: aboutMe, birthday, hireDate, interests, mySite, pastProjects, preferredName, responsibilities, schools, skills, mailboxSettings.

The following properties are not supported in personal Microsoft accounts and are always null: aboutMe, birthday, interests, mySite, pastProjects, preferredName, responsibilities, schools, skills, streetAddress.

Request headers

Header Value
Authorization Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
ConsistencyLevel eventual. This header and $count are required when using $search, or in specific usage of $filter. For more information about the use of ConsistencyLevel and $count, see Advanced query capabilities on directory objects.

Request body

Don't supply a request body for this method.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and a collection of user and agentUser objects in the response body. agentUser objects include an @odata.type property with the value #microsoft.graph.agentUser to differentiate them from user objects.

Attempting to use $select on the /users collection to retrieve properties that cannot be returned within a collection (for example, the request ../users?$select=aboutMe) returns a 501 Not Implemented error code.

Example 4: Get guest (B2B) users from a specific tenant or domain by userPrincipalName

Request

The following example shows a request. The userPrincipalName value for guest (B2B collaboration) users always contains the "#EXT#" identifier. For example, the userPrincipalName of a user in their home tenant is AdeleV@adatum.com. When you invite the user to collaborate in your tenant, contoso.com, their userPrincipalName in your tenant is "AdeleV_adatum.com#EXT#@contoso.com".

This request requires the ConsistencyLevel header set to eventual and the $count=true query string because the request includes the endsWith operator. For more information about the use of ConsistencyLevel and $count, see Advanced query capabilities on directory objects.

NOTE: You must encode the reserved character "#" in the userPrincipalName value as "%23" in the request URL. For more information, see Encoding special characters.

                "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.ComplexExtensionValue",
                "courseType": "Developer",
                "courseName": "Introduction to Microsoft Graph",
                "courseId": 1
            }
        },
        {}
    ]
}

Note: You can also apply $filter on the schema extension property to retrieve objects where a property in the collection matches a specified value. The syntax is /users?$filter={schemaPropertyID}/{propertyName} eq 'value'. For example, GET /users?$select=ext55gb1l09_msLearnCourses&$filter=ext55gb1l09_msLearnCourses/courseType eq 'Developer'. The eq and not operators are supported.

Example 14: List all users with a custom security attribute assignment that equals a value

The following example shows how to list all users with a custom security attribute assignment that equals a value. The example retrieves users with a custom security attribute named AppCountry with a value that equals Canada. The filter value is case sensitive. You must add ConsistencyLevel=eventual in the request or the header. You must also include $count=true to ensure the request is routed correctly.

User #1

  • Attribute set: Marketing
  • Attribute: AppCountry
  • Attribute data type: Collection of Strings
  • Attribute value: ["India","Canada"]

User #2

  • Attribute set: Marketing
  • Attribute: AppCountry
  • Attribute data type: Collection of Strings
  • Attribute value: ["Canada","Mexico"]

To get custom security attribute assignments, the calling principal must be assigned the Attribute Assignment Reader or Attribute Assignment Administrator role and must be granted the CustomSecAttributeAssignment.Read.All or CustomSecAttributeAssignment.ReadWrite.All permission.

For examples of custom security attribute assignments, see Examples: Assign, update, list, or remove custom security attribute assignments using the Microsoft Graph API.
