Office 365 Users

The Office 365 Users connector is a pivotal connection provider that enables organizations to access and manage user profiles through an Office 365 account. This connector is integral to various applications within the Microsoft ecosystem, such as Logic Apps, Power Automate, and Power Apps, facilitating seamless integration and workflow automation.

As a type of service, the Office 365 Users connector functions optimally when the REST API is active, ensuring that user data can be reliably retrieved and managed. It is important to note that this connector is not compatible with GCCH accounts in the LogicApps US Government Cloud and may encounter errors if operated via dedicated or sandbox account types. Additionally, tenant policies that block default selected fields may result in a 403 Forbidden error, highlighting the need for appropriate configuration and permissions within the tenant environment.

In the context of data, Office 365 users are represented as objects within the directory, each possessing a unique identifier and a range of properties such as account status, personal details, contact information, and professional attributes. These properties, from the display name to the user principal name, enrich the user profiles and enable personalized and targeted interactions within the organization.

Export Office 365 Users to a CSV File

Opening PowerShell

To begin the process of exporting Office 365 users to a CSV file, you must first open PowerShell. This is a prerequisite for running the necessary cmdlet to perform the export.

Using the Get-MSOLUser Cmdlet

The cmdlet used to export a list of Office 365 users to a CSV file is Get-MSOLUser. This command collects the list of users and then exports the data into a CSV format.

Installing Azure Active Directory Module

Before executing the Get-MSOLUser cmdlet, ensure that the Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell is installed. This module is required to interact with Office 365 users and carry out the export.

Accessing the CSV File in Excel

Once the export is complete, the resulting CSV file can be opened and managed in Excel. This allows for easy viewing and manipulation of the user data.
