Hi Team, How can we get a user list that is permanently deleted? Is there any other API? I tried with API https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/directory/deletedItems/microsoft.graph.user but can't get permanently deleted users only I get inactive users.
You cannot, once an object is permanently deleted, the Graph has no knowledge of it. They only way would be to store information in some external system, i.e. every time you create a new user you write a record in the system, then update it upon deleting the user, etc.
we have created a hold on that deleted user and from the purview portal, we get that user while we create a collection and add an additional Location list and are also able to collect that user data, but we didn't get that user from the graph API ?? is there any API to get deleted users?
You are referring to the Inactive mailboxes functionality. The data you are getting is for the Inactive mailbox object and comes from Exchange Online, not the Graph API. You can fetch it via PowerShell:
Get-Mailbox -InactiveMailboxOnly
Unfortunately, there are no Graph API endpoints to query this. And as mentioned above, you will not find any user object either.
