Microsoft Graph API

Microsoft Graph or https://aka.ms/ge or https://ge.cmd.ms/

Graph Explorer

# Default Query
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me

# Filtered Attributes
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me?$select=id,userPrincipalName

# User.Read.All - Permission is needed to run the below query
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$select=id,userPrincipalName

# Get Top three users
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$top=3&$select=id,userPrincipalName

Retrieve users from the Microsoft Graph API using a User account (Tested with Global Admin)

$url = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users"
$token = "*************************************"
$header = @{Authorization = "Bearer $token"}
invoke-RestMethod -uri $url -Headers $header
$result =invoke-RestMethod -uri $url -Headers $header
$result.value
$result.value | Measure-Object
$result.value | Select-Object id,userPrincipalName

Retrieve AAD users & Azure resources from the Microsoft Graph API using an Azure Service Principal

Above permissions are needed for that Application to work all the scripts mentioned here.

• scope uri is needed to query the AAD users & resource uri is needed to query the AZ resources.
• Authorization endpoint is not needed when "grant_type" is "client_credentials". The token endpoint is only needed. Token type: Access_Token
• Token Endpoint (V1) : https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant_Id>/oauth2/token - Use that for AZ Resouces
• Token Endpoint (V2) : https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant_Id>/oauth2/v2.0/token - Use that for AAD Users
