I'm using the next endpoint for getting
"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/?$select=id, displayName, mail, userPrincipalName"
According to docs:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/user?view=graph-rest-1.0
there is no any info about unique mail property for user resource type.
mail String The SMTP address for the user, for example, "jeff#contoso.onmicrosoft.com". Supports $filter.
Question: is it possible to get two or more users (with different ids) and the same mail property?
The User mail property should be unique.
You will get the following error message when you try to create a new user with the same mail property.
"error": {
"code": "Request_BadRequest",
"message": "Another object with the same value for property proxyAddresses already exists.",

We would like to create calendar permissions on all users calendar in organization which allow a service (user mailbox) to read/write on users calendars.
There is no problem to do that by using Microsoft Graph endpoint : Create calendarPermission
But we would like this permission was not removable by end users. That's why we tried to use isRemovable property set to true. For example :
POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/UPN_OF_USER/calendar/calendarPermissions
Request Body
{
"emailAddress": {
"name": "VALID_USER_NAME",
"address": "VALID_USER_EMAIL_IN_TENANT#TENANT_DOMAIN"
},
"isInsideOrganization": true,
"isRemovable": false,
"role": "read"
}
But each time we add this permission, isRemovable property is set to true.
It doesn't seems isRemovable property is readonly in documentation
I tested the API in my environment and it came up with the same result. I tested couple of Scenarios and found that isInsideOrganization is decided by the My Organization user and isRemovable is default set to true for all users as they can be removed/deleted from the Sharee and Delegate list except for My Organization User as its the deciding authority of which permissions are assigned to what user.
It is also mentioned in calendar permission resource type Microsoft Documentation as shown below :
Scenarios:
Create a Permission for User inside the Organization by providing the two parameters and not providing the parameters as well:
With Parameters:
Without Parameters:
Create a Permission for User present outside the Organization by providing the two parameters and not providing the parameters as

Without Parameters:
Note : IsRemovable is set to false only for My Organization User as can be seen below:
I am trying to create list items with Microsoft Graph's new SharePoint endpoint. My URL is as follows:
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items
Calling this URL with POST, and a body like this:
{
"fields": {
"Title": "test",
}
}
.. works! But if I include a lookup field, the lookup field is always empty. I have tried with
"{columnName}": "id",
"{columnName}": "id;#value",
"{columnName}": {
"#odata.type": "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference", //and others like this
"Id": "id",
"Value": "value",
}
"{columnName}": "value",
"{columnName}Id": "id",
None of these seems to work. Some give an error like "The request is malformed or incorrect.", others go through, but doesn't include the lookup field.
The documentation for this is scarce (if any), and I have found very little information on google (apart from someone asking the same question with no answers). Anyone that got this to work yet? Is it even possible?
I have got this to work with people fields where the multiple selection option was DISABLED. So if you have a person field which allows one person only, the following works.
"{columnName}LookupId": id
Additionally, the id still needs to be the SP ID and not the graph user GUID. This ID changes from site to site.
You need to add a lookup column in the following format
"Office": "London",
"OfficeLookupId", "16"
Where Office is the name of the column
I am getting stuck creating my own app to use within Zapier. It is for an unsupported CRM
https://www.brightpearl.com/developer/latest/
I have been able to authenticate and create a test trigger - a simple call to retrive information about one product ID where the ID is provided in the request URL manually.
Example Use Case
Using an Email sent to a GMail account, search for a customerand add the body of the email as a note to the customer.
I can search using Zapier->Searches to retrieve a result.
The Brightpearl API search returns an ID for any matched contacts.
https://www.brightpearl.com/support/documentation/resource-search
The ID can be accessed in the json response
{
response: {
results: [
[
4,
"admin#email.com",
"Primary",
"Admin"
]
]
},
reference: {}
}
The ID is required to add the note later
How do I store the ID to use in the Action later?
How do I chain the events together so that the Action is called after the ID is captured?
I have gone through the Zapier documentation and cannot find example code which does this.
The trigger that exposes the ID in the API response (in this case, the Brightpearl search result) can be mapped to a subsequent action. You don't store data in Zapier - you just pass it between actions.
Zapier's multi-step interface lets you append actions which can accept any data returned from the previous step.
I have two questions both relating the the User data sets.
1.
Is UniqueName in WhoAmI the same value as UserName in UserData
User.WhoAmIUser
{
"Identifier": "<string:D2LID>",
"FirstName": "<string>",
"LastName": "<string>",
"UniqueName": "<string>",
"ProfileIdentifier": "<string:D2LID>"
}
User.UserData
{
"OrgId": "<number:D2LID>",
"UserId": "<number:D2LID>",
"FirstName": "<string>",
"MiddleName": "<string>",
"LastName": "<string>",
"UserName": "<string>",
"ExternalEmail": "<string>",
"OrgDefinedId": "<string>",
"UniqueIdentifier": "<string>",
"Activation": "{composite:User.UserActivationData}"
}
2.
How can I retrieve the current authenticated users email address? I've tried to connect to various Users API's but all return "Not Authorized". Even the "/d2l/api/lp/(D2LVERSION: version)/users/(D2LID: userId)" with my userId authorized as myself throws Not Authorized.
I have tried both with Student and Instructor Roles. I can retrieve the WhoAmI service, just not any other User services.
Thanks.
1) The UniqueName property in the User.WhoAmIUser structure will (should) present the same value as the UserName property in User.UserData: this is the user's "log in name" within the LMS. In the back-end service, these two properties might be maintained separately, but for all intents and purposes, to the calling client, they should contain the same value (in that if you change the UserName value in a user record through the web UI, and then make a WhoAmI call, you'll see that change show up in the UniqueName property in the WhoAmI results).
2) Retrieving a user's email address may not be a simple feat: the ExternalEmail property in the UserData record should contain the same value that appears in the Email field in the user record in the Web UI. This is the email address that the LMS will use if it needs to send password-reset messages to a user.
This property is subject to User Information Privacy role-permissions, and some organizations may choose to tightly restrict who can see that value.
Additionally, the /d2l/api/lp/{ver}/users/ route itself is often subject to restrictive role permissions with some organizations. In general, if you're making a call with a user role that would have access to the functionality of the Users tool in the LMS' web UI, that role should also be able to have access to this API route.
If you do not have permission to use that API call (and you may not), then you can't use it to look for user details.
The User.User and Enrollment.ClasslistUser structures also contain a property to house that Email value from the user record, and if you can make a call to retrieve those structures (enrollment API calls, for example, or the classlist API call), then you might have access to the email value there, contingent on the User Information Privacy permissions the calling user has in place.
The upshot of all this is that many users at many organizations won't have the permission to retrieve their own external email address from their own user record, as they may not have permission to make the calls that would retrieve it, and it's not contained in the WhoAmIUser structure.
I am using the default ASP.NET MVC Membership Provider and I would like to allow user's to modify their email after they have created their account. I do not want users to be able to use a duplicate email.
How do I allow a user to modify their email and check that the email is not in use elsewhere in the database? I am not sure of the best way to do this type of check when using the default Membership Provider.
note - I know the Membership Provider itself performs this check when a user attempts to register their email address, I do not know how to perform this check at a later time (due to noobness).
note 2 - I only know of this method of accessing the user's email, is this the proper way to be accessing it?
MembershipUser useremail = Membership.GetUser(User.Identity.Name);
ViewBag.Email = useremail.Email;
You can search for an existing username by that email:
String userName = MembershipProvider.GetUserNameByEmail(email)
If no match is found, userName will be null. See here for more info on this.
Also, if your MembershipProvider has RequiresUniqueEmail = true then this check should already be performed for you - as per this page.
