Calling "/v1.0/places/microsoft.graph.room/" and "/v1.0/users/" returns two different sources

Question

When I call https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/?$select=displayName, givenName, surname, id, mail, officeLocation, userType, userPrincipalName, isResourceAccount, type, calendar
I get the exact same users, rooms and equipment that is displayed in 365 Admin Center. If I delete an entity in the Admin Center, it is no longer returned in the API call.

However, when I call https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/places/microsoft.graph.room/
I get a completely different list of entities (by the look of the names, the entities have been added earlier by another developer).

No matter what I add or delete, either through powershell or the Admin Central, the changes are reflected in the first API call (/users/) but not in the latter (/places/).

Do anyone know what I'm missing here?

Hi @Edward Campbell ,

By using this Graph API endpoint https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/places/microsoft.graph.room/ we can only fetch all the rooms in the tenant as mentioned here and if we are making any changes to this room resource (updation,deletion) operations, typically it will 4 to 24 hours to reflect the changes via Places Graph API endpoint.

You can exclusively find this rooms in Exchange online admin center under Recipients->Resources

Hope this helps.
