How do i get the the user that created an user in graph

Question

I have been reading the documentation on Microsoft Graph on user properties and i can not find the "Created by user" property.

I have found the "Date of creation" property but does azure even register who created an user?

Answer 1

I created a user, and the activity will show up in the Audit logs like below:

To fetch the user that created a user, you can make use of below query to filter Audit Logs:

GET https://graph.microsoft.com//v1.0/auditLogs/directoryAudits?&$filter=activityDisplayName eq 'Add user'

The inititatedBy is the user who created the user present in the targetResources.

Make sure to consent AuditLog.Read.All permission to perform the action.
