We have the Microsoft graph API to fetch user details by user id. How to fetch user details by display name of the user. I tried this query, but it returns all names having that exact word. GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$filter=displayName eq 'ExactDisplayName'. I want single row which has exact value, but it returns many rows which are approximately matching rows

    Hello MS Techie,

    GET v1.0 https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$filter=displayName eq 'ExactDisplayName'

    The above API is expected to return the exact matched user. Please provide some logs or screenshots for the issue you are facing. If the answer is helpful, please click "Accept Answer" and kindly upvote it. If you have extra questions about this answer, please click "Comment". Regards,
