AAD User Table | Query per Odata or Dataverse Connector PBI

[P3Sven]

Hi lovely community,

just wondering why I can't query dataverse table "AAD User". 

Have sys admin role and can read all records "directly" via make.powerapps.com, but why not via API?

Is there another way to get all users of AAD User table or other?

I need all users incl. "company name" column? (unfortunately its not included in systemuser table)

BR,

Sven

Hi @P3Sven ,

The systemuser table is the table in Dataverse with users.  I don't know of the AAD User table in Dataverse, the AAD user is is Azure Active Directory and I would expect you should utilize something like Power Automate to pull this information from AAD and augment as needed to the systemusers table in Dataverse.  

An example of a flow that is doing something similar:  https://2die4it.com/2020/09/02/get-set-manager-of-cds-d365-users-with-power-automate-flow/

Hi @P3Sven,

The issue with the Odata query you're trying is that your not authenticated. You'll need to pass the auth token somehow but I'm not sure how to with the Odata.Feed function. Even though your a system admin in Dataverse, AAD is another system/platform which required different privileges.

There is another way with the Office 365 User connector which will be simpler. Here's an example

Hope this helps!

Hi @dpoggemann , Hi @EricRegnier ,

thanks for your replies!

Also have wondered about AAD User Table but yes, I also guess it's another system with other authorization method.

I need to query all users incl. company name. I will create a new company name column in systemuser table and will update it with power automate via Office 365 connector..

Thank you!

We have just released the new AAD User virtual table. I'd based in Graph and uses OBO auth. With it you are able to retrieve AAD user data through the virtual table. Check out my recent post on it.
