Is it possible to restore an Azure Active Directory user using the azure-cli?

I recently deleted a user from Azure Active Directory and am looking to undo this action using Azure CLI. Before reaching out here, I tried looking up documentation and relevant commands but haven't found a clear solution yet.

Solution

To list the deleted users, make use of below command:

az rest --method GET --url "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/directory/deletedItems/microsoft.graph.user"

enter image description here

Note that: Deleted users will be available up to 30 days to restore. After 30 days the user will be permanently deleted and you will not be able to restore.

To restore the user from Azure CLI, make use of below command:

az rest --method POST --url "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/directory/deletedItems/ObjectID/restore"

enter image description here

The user is restored successfully:

Otherwise, you can also make use of Azure PowerShell:

To list the deleted users, make use of below commands

Connect-MSOLService

Get-MsolUser -ReturnDeletedUsers
Restore-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName <string> -AutoReconcileProxyConflicts -NewUserPrincipalName <string>
