Hi @Ankit Rao

You can use this sample PowerShell code to get users. Please replace the marked area with relevant values.

$clientID = "_ _ _ _ _ _ _"  
$clientSecret ="_ _ _ _ _ _ _"  
$tenantDomain ="_ _ _ _ _ _ _"  
$loginURL = "https://login.microsoft.com"  
$resource = "https://graph.microsoft.com"  
$body = @{grant_type="client_credentials";resource=$resource;client_id=$ClientID;client_secret=$ClientSecret}  
$token = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri $loginURL/$tenantdomain/oauth2/token?api-version=1.0 -Body $body  
$apiUri = 'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/'  
$body = "{}"  
$users = (Invoke-RestMethod -Headers @{Authorization= "Bearer $($token.access_token)" } -Uri $apiUri -Method Get -ContentType 'application/json')  

For more details please refer to this documentation.

Hi @Ankit Rao ,I tested it locally and it works fine, Please check that you are using the corresponding authentication flow and permissions correctly. As you want no login popup, you should use client credentials flow and application permission User.Read.All or User.ReadWrite.All.
