That's one of the "selling points" of the Graph API - a single namespace for all things Microsoft 365, including Teams, including users. Read here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-list?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
And if you are new to Graph, start here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/overview?view=graph-rest-1.0

Exactly, you can easily get the list of users with this graph API. I am sharing some helpful URL to get access token

We are getting error 404 while getting the access token, getting error 404. Is there something missing in the request

Hey,
To make it work you need to select x-www-form-urlencoded as the body type. I can see you are missing grant_type=client_credentials So please add that in your request body. Also username and password is not required.

Have a look at - Get an access token

2 . Get the users from https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users, you can check the Token. Don't forget to modify the permission.

3 . Then copy the token to postman.

4 . you will list all your employee.
