When i hit an http request with the graph api i get wierd response.

{
"sharepoint.online.site.url": "E6F7C61B30D8014A9F20E422F86691BD",
"sharepoint.online.site.status": "Up",
"status": "Up",
"sharepoint.online.site.last.modified": "2021-09-03",
"sharepoint.online.site.files": 0,
"sharepoint.online.site.active.files": 1,
"sharepoint.online.site.storage.capacity.bytes": 27487790694400.0,
"sharepoint.online.site.storage.used.bytes": 1516930,
"sharepoint.online.site.storage.free.bytes": 27487789177470,
"sharepoint.online.site.storage.used.percent": 0.0,
"sharepoint.online.site.storage.free.percent": 99.99999448144081
},
{
"sharepoint.online.user.principle.name": "ACEB109AC9048D05155B1D653357875D",
"sharepoint.online.user.is.deleted": "False",
"sharepoint.online.user.last.activity.date": "2021-09-04",
"sharepoint.online.user.shared.internal.files": 0,
"sharepoint.online.user.shared.external.files": 0,
"sharepoint.online.user.visited.pages": 2
}

so, i want to know as to why this encrypted fields in the user.principle.name and site.url, i can't seem to find a valid reason for this change.

Hi @Swapnil Dave ,

This is beacuse of Privacy changes to Microsoft 365 Usage Analytics: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365-blog/privacy-changes-to-microsoft-365-usage-analytics/ba-p/2694137

You could disable the feature by going to Settings > Org Settings > Services and selecting Reports, uncheck the option In all reports, display de-identified names for users, groups, and sites.
