I can not find the User Information List for my sharepoint site. I have people picker column in my list and I can assign them. Also I get the lookup Id value. But when I call the graph API with this url, https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{siteid}/lists/User Information List/items?$expand=fields

I get The specified list was not found error.

I have tried the same url in a new test sharepoint site and it is returning the user values. Also when I call the sharepoint API like this,

https://site/_api/Web/GetUserById(10) I am getting the result.

So the user information list exits. But name is different or something. Now how can I find the user list?

I have Sites.Read.All permission.

    Hi @Khandakar Rashed Hassan ,

    Good day! Welcome to Q&A forum.

    To access user information list, add /_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0 at the end of the site URL:

    [https://site%20/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0]https://site /_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0 , you can get the ID of the user:User's image

    The you can get user information by using the following rest api:

    https://site/_api/Web/GetUserById(ID)

    Note: highlight is parameter.

    Hope these information helps.
