Filter out guest user in Microsoft Graph

How would you go about trying to filter out Guest users in a Microsoft Graph query?

In the past, the ne comparison operator was not supported on the userType property of the user resource. This made it difficult to query all users that are NOT userType of 'guest'. There was a way that in most scenarios would return only non-guest users, but wasn't always reliable.

However, as of sometime around June 2021, the userType property now supports the ne comparison operator!

So you can now get users that are not guest users with this query: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/?$filter=userType ne 'guest'&$count=true Here is a link to Microsoft Graph Explorer where you can try this query

Important note:

This is an advanced query, so it requires two specific things that have to be set.

1. The ConsistencyLevel header to eventual
2. The $count=true query parameter

If those two aren't set, you query will return an error.

Hopefully you've found this useful! Until next time! Peace
