Get-MgUser: Populated values not showing

[twcau]

Describe the bug

After connecting with Connect-MgGraph via the latest version of Microsoft.Graph; I am attempting to query for all External users in my instance, and retrieve specific values that are shown if a Select-Object * is performed.

However, multiple values, despite having information present in these fields within Entra are returned empty.

Fields with populated values returned as empty or null include:

• AgeGroup
• City
• CompanyName
• Country
• CreatedDateTime
• PostalCode
• PreferredDataLocation
• Sponsors
• State
• StreetAddress
• UsageLocation

Reviewing documentation for Get-MgUser, I cannot find any indication that this information shouldn't be returned.

Connect-MgGraph has been run at the highest possible privledge scope ("User.ReadWrite.All", "Directory.ReadWrite.All"), however this does not change the outcome.

Expected behavior

The values for Sponsor, and Email would be shown in the result

How to reproduce

1. Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "User.ReadWrite.All", "Directory.ReadWrite.All"
2. Get-MgUser -Filter "userType eq 'Guest' and accountEnabled eq true" -All | Select-Object *

SDK Version

2.27.0

Latest version known to work for scenario above?

By default you only get a subset of properties, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/users?view=graph-rest-1.0#common-properties
Note that if you do specify the -Property parameter then only the listed properties are returned

Thanks for that plain and useful explaination @salbeck-sit, it's very appreciated, and got me on the track I was missing.

(Closing this issue - as not an issue: Was used to the on-prem methods of querying AD via Powershell and Select-Object for getting what was needed; and hadn't comprehended the translation into Microsoft.Graph from the point of the -Property flag)
