Get all users through Office 365 Users connector through Search for users (V2)

Posted on by SBS

I'm trying to retrieve all our internal users through the Office 365 Users connector using Search for users (V2) in Power Automate. I would like to display all the users with a @company.com emailaddress. When searching on @company.com or just @ I don't get any results. When searching on my own firstname.lastname@company.com I do get a result. I can't find any documentation on the search field of Search for users (V2). How does it exactly work? Can I use wildcards?

The Search for Users searches a particular search term, for example a full email address, and unfortunately you can't use a wildcard with it to get back all users. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/office365users/

Hi RobElliot,

Thank you for your reply. When I leave the search term empty the connector returns all the users. The problem is that it only returns the first 1000 users and the rest gets paginated. If I could search on the domainname of the emailaddress the result would only be 450. I can search firstname.lastname@company.com but I cant search on company.com because this returns zero results.

Kind regards

Hi @SBS,

You could use the Get group members action of the Auzre AD connector, it will return all members of the Groups, also, if you want to get all the members in the tenant, you could get all groups ID to put into the Get group members, then append them into an array:

Get Members of a group

Get members of multiple Groups

Thank you. I found a solution by just changing the pagination setting to 2000, leaving the searchbox empty and filtering the array to reduce the input to only real employee accounts.

I am interested to know how you achieved that as I am trying to do a very similar thing.
"changing the pagination setting to 2000 and filtering the array to reduce the input to only real employee accounts"

Although tests succeed, I don't seem to get any data returned.

Hi @draymond11 ,
You could to this using the Filter Array action:

Expression in my filter =
@equals(item()?['AccountEnabled'], true)
