I'm having a problem with Microsoft Graph API... Currently I have a web application that has an openid integration with Microsoft/Azure using the common v2 endpoint.
We are trying to get the signed in user company name and job information. The official docs say that we need to make a request to the MS Graph API.
We are testing it on Microft Graph Explorer but it doesn't seem to work.
We've selected the 'User.Read' as a permission in our app, then tried these endpoints:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me?$select=companyName,jobTitle
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/?$select=companyName,jobTitle
In MS offical doc (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/concepts/permissions_reference) on User/Remarks sections, it clearly says that
"On reads, only a limited number of properties are returned by default. To read properties that are not in the default set, use $select"
Is this doc outdated?
I've tried to reach MS support for developers, but they answered saying that I should ask this on Stack Overflow...
So probably there are no official support for developers?
Is it really possible to get the company name and job title from a MS account?
Thanks in advance!
edit. Update question with MS graph explorer screenshots
edit.2. Update screenshot with proper encoding.
Also, it's a MS account not an Azure account, since our web app accepts both of them on the common v2 endpoint.
Update
My goal was trying to get the Work Info section from a MSA account.
The documentation is correct, by default we only return a subset of user properties:
id
userPrincipalName
displayName
givenName
surname
jobTitle
mail
mobilePhone
businessPhones
officeLocation
preferredLanguage
If you want a different set of properties, you can request them using the $select query parameter. The queries you provided in your question should work fine. For example, when I execute https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me?$select=companyName in Graph Explorer (after logging in with my credentials) I get the following:
{
"#odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users(companyName)/$entity",
"companyName": "MICROSOFT"
}
Update Regarding MSA
When using Microsoft Graph against a Microsoft Account (MSA) there are several differences in what properties get surfaced. As an MSA is by definition a personal/individual account, organizational properties such as Job Title and Office Location are simply not applicable.

This is my first question, so I hope I don't miss a thing. To be clear from the start: I don't expect an answer which dives deep into detail. This is just about getting a general understanding of how to work with this kind of software.
So I don't know if "Identity Management System" is a suitable term for what I mean but when I talk about Identity Management Systems I think of something like Azure AD, which as far as I know provides e.g. web developers the possibility to integrate a way users can authenticate (including access privilege etc.) on their website.
What I'm quite unsure about is how to work with/ integrate such tools in a project. I will try to make it clear with an example: Assuming I have a website let's say this website is a blog. The blog consist of different posts which are stored in my own database which is connected to the website. The posts are written by different users which authenticate with a tool like Azure AD. The user's data is stored somewhere on a server run by e.g. Microsoft. If I want to display the posts togethere with the name, email.... of the user who wrote them, how would I do this?
Is it possible to query the user's data directly from the Identity Management System and display it? This does not sound ideal to me as the consequence would be that data the website uses is stored in two different locations.
Would you kind of copy the user's data from the Identity Management System to the websites database and query it from there? This does not sound like a good solution either because then data would be duplicated.
So whats the "right workflow"?
I appreciate any hints and further information I can get:-)
AFAIK To get the user's information like name, email etc. you can add these claims while generating the JWT token.
To generate access token, you have multiple authentication flows such as Authorization code flow, ROPC flow, Implicit flow.
To add the claims that you need to return with the token, you can make settings like below:
Go to Azure Portal -> Azure Active Directory -> App Registrations -> Your app -> Token configuration -> Add optional claims
When you decode the token via JSON Web Tokens - jwt.io you can find the user information that you need.
To know how to generate access token, you can refer SO Thread which I solved it before.
I'm trying to get the preferred username of a user via the Graph API for Microsoft Office / Azure
If a user logs in via an enterprise application with an id_token I get the preferred_username claim.
This has the user's actual email address.
If I try to look up the user separately by ID, I can't find any way to get that username.
Seems related to Sign-in to Azure Active Directory using email as an alternate login ID (preview).
The user in question is using a GitHub linked account, it likely has an ugly UPN that I would prefer not to be seen anywhere. Instead I would like to use their preferred_username.
Example "ugly" UPN":
***_gmail.com#EXT##***gmail.onmicrosoft.com
To my knowledge, the preferred_username value isn't exposed by Graph in either v1.0 or Beta.
One potential workaround is to use the otherMails property. This is an array, so this may contain multiple entries for a given user. That said, any otherMails entry is likely to be less 'ugly'.
When I try querying extensionAttribute with Graph API (Hybrid Exchange), I cannot get any value.
E.g., if I try: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/<userid or upn>?$select=extensionAttribute2, I cannot see the value even I know it’s there.
Do you know how to get it properly (or a workaround)?
Thank you
Are these values synced to Azure Active Directory? All properties for the AAD User can be found in the Microsoft Graph API docs here : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/user?view=graph-rest-1.0
It sounds like these are being synced from an AAD Connect environment, so it's most likely you are trying to get the onPremisesExtensionAttributes.
Per the description:
Contains extensionAttributes 1-15 for the user. Note that the individual extension attributes are neither selectable nor filterable. For an onPremisesSyncEnabled user, this set of properties is mastered on-premises and is read-only. For a cloud-only user (where onPremisesSyncEnabled is false), these properties may be set during creation or update.
I suggest taking a look more thoroughly through the documentation in regards to this. In addition to that, as you mentioned Exchange, note that the custom attributes from exchange are the same as the extension attributes. For more info on this see : https://github.com/microsoftgraph/microsoft-graph-docs/issues/5950
This is a separate sort of "Extension Attribute" but I figured I would include this in the answer as well. There is a different extensibility section for the Microsoft Graph, and the docs on this can be found here : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/extensibility-overview
If you see information on these extensions, know that this is separate from the on-prem extensions.
As per the guidelines specified in the Microsoft Azure Docs, I have configured a custom attribute to sync with Azure AD.
When viewing the Tenant Schema Extension App in the Microsoft Graph Explorer
using /beta/applications/Blocked_Tenant_Schema_Extension App_Id/extensionProperties, I can see the extension property has been registered.
The problem is I can't work out how to view this in the Microsoft Graph for a user.
I have tried using Extensions for a user, but can't see it against that.
I have also tried using Directory Object in the Microsoft Graph https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/directoryObjects/Blocked-User-Id?$select=id,extension_Blocked-App-ID_otherTelephone
If you get the user and $select the extension, it should be returned.
E.g.:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/user#company.com?$select=id,extension_b569610d09e44cddbadeb9beaaaaaaaa_ApiRoles
One important thing to note is that the property has the app's id without dashes.
We are using Office 365 in our company. How can I get a list of all users and resources with their details in our subscription?
Before, when we had Exchange and Active Directory installed in-house, I was getting all this data directly from our AD, now, when all users are in the cloud how can I do it?
Oleg,
For starters, there is no way to browse the GAL using EWS or EWS Managed API but you can search the GAL. The current methods that have access to the GAL with Exchange 2013 or Office 365 are ResolveNames, ExpandDL, FindPeople, and GetUserPhoto. The best option is to use the FindPeople operation in EWS (There is no method in EWS Managed API for this operation at this time) because it will allow you to do an IndexedPageItemView to view a block at a time.
Here is where it gets interesting. FindPeople has an element called DistinguishedFolderId that allows you to specify where to look. You can set the value to directory to search the GAL, but this only works for on-premises versions of Exchange. If you want to search the GAL on Office 365 you need to specify the AddressListId for the GAL, however there are no operations in EWS to get this Id. If you have the proper permissions you can use the PowerShell cmdlet Get-AddressList.
Here is a little more information about getting to the GUID:
Office365’s Global Address List Guid
Once you have the GUID you can set the ParentFolderId in FindPeople and you will be able to search the GAL.
I hope this information helps. If this does resolve your problem, please mark the post as answered.
