Let suppose I have user Rohan Joshi present in my AD and there is a new user with same name who joins us.

I wanted their details to be Rohan.Joshi@xyz .com & Rohan.Joshi1@xyz .com in my AD

How can we acheive it using the Graph '/user' API ?

Thanks Shivam for the details !!!

I am aware about this API but my query is how will we know before hand that user with name Rohan Joshi is already present and that we have to use some other variation of the same name as you showed.

Is there any api to check if the user with same name exist and we get some suggested name to be used.

Hi @Ayan Usmani

You can use Get https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$filter=displayName eq 'Roshan Joshi' if you want to check if some user with this name is already present in your tenant or you can use Get https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$filter=userPrincipalName eq '******@xyz.onmicrosoft.com' if you want to check if user with this userPrincipalName is already present in your tenant.

Hope this helps.
