Not Able To Find Profile Photo with Microsoft Graph Training Module

Karl Gardner 195

Hello, I went through this entire module: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/msgraph-user-photo-information/1-introduction

and I am getting a 404 response when trying to get the profile photo in Microsoft graph. It shows here that I have a profile photo with my [******@gmail.com] microsoft 365 account:

The http request is going through ok with the node.js application. I know this because I have confirmed with dev tools:

so I'm unsure why I would be getting back that it is not able to find the profile photo. I have one user in my microsoft entra id:

Any reason why it's not finding the profile photo?

Thanks!

Hi @Karl Gardner

Your account is a personal account. If you want to get the original photos of your personal account, you need to log in to the application as your personal account.

First, configure your application as a multi-tenant application. Then, when authenticating the user, change /{tenant_id} to /common.

Hello @CarlZhao-MSFT ,

Thanks for the response. So I registered the application with supported account types of "Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Microsoft Entra ID tenant and personal

put that in the MSAL config object:

const msalConfig = { auth: { clientId: 'db20c382-1666-49fa-a266-b584561f1b91', // comment out if you use a multi-tenant AAD app authority: 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/common', redirectUri: 'http://localhost:8080' } };

and now I believe the problem is that I have two different accounts (one personal Microsoft 365 account) and one Azure account:

Would it even be possible to use the get the profile photo of a different account (Microsoft 365 account) with Microsoft Entra authentication token on an azure account? The module says for a prerequisite I need to have "Global Administrator access to a Microsoft 365 tenant". However, not sure this is possible without a microsoft 365 business account

If you want to get photos of other accounts, just make sure your user is in the same tenant as the other users.

Alternatively, you can use unattended application permissions to get photos of other users.

Hello @CarlZhao-MSFT,

Ok, so you are saying to invite an external user (******@gmail.com) into my current tenant (with global administrator kgardner3300_gmail.com#EXT#@kgardner3300gmail.onmicrosoft.com)

Can you possibly give some more explanation by chance? Thanks!
