Get user activities

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Get activities for a given user. Unlike the recent OData function, activities without histories will be returned. The permission UserActivity.ReadWrite.CreatedByApp will apply extra filtering to the response, so that only activities created by your application are returned. This server-side filtering might result in empty pages if the user is particularly active and other applications have created more recent activities. To get your application's activities, use the nextLink property to paginate.
