Hi @abd3127,

Do you want to use the EnsureUser method of SharePoint REST API to add the user in SharePoint site within Microsoft Flow?

If you want to use the EnsureUser method of SharePoint REST API to add the user in SharePoint site within Microsoft Flow, I think the "HTTP" action could achieve your needs.

If you want to use the EnsureUser method of SharePoint REST API within the HTTP action, you should be able to access your SharePoint firstly based on SharePoint REST API. More details about accessing SharePoint using the HTTP action based on SharePoint REST API, please check the following article:

Best regards,

Kris

Linking to the general documentation is useful but I was looking for an answer like this so added it here:
Site Address is in an environment variable in my flow looking like:

https://[SPdomain].sharepoint.com/sites/BusinessAppSolProFSDocumentsDEV

Body is an object looking like:

{ 'logonName': 'i:0#.f|membership|django.lohn@emaildomain.nl' }

Ditto! @Django this helped immensely to eliminate a problem with my flow when the user had not interacted with the SharePoint site/list yet. (Or in the case of a guest user - hadn't completed sign in after a Teams invitation was sent to them.)

Cheers!

Hi @Django Thanks so much for this. I would add a little tweak if your user is a guest in the tenant
Example DomGuest@hotmail.com in this case body would need to be
{ 'logonName': 'i:0#.f|membership|DomGuest_hotmail.com#EXT#@tenant.onmicrosoft.com' }

To convert DomGuest@hotmail.com to DomGuest_Hotmail.com#EXT#@tenant.onmicrosoft.com for example in powerautomate create a variable ( or use compose) as follow

in the formula the replace function changes the @ in _

replace(DomGuest@hotmail.com ,'@','_')
