Possible values for PersonType in Microsoft Graph People API

Question

We are trying to use the People API in a project which will differentiate the People based on the PersonType.e.g.External or internal people. We couldn't find any documentation on all possible values of PersonType. We have looked into the documentation below:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/persontype?view=graph-rest-1.0

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

It sounds like you may be looking for Person:Organization and/or Other:Guest.

I found it mentioned here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/office/blogs/people-api-available-in-microsoft-graph-v1/

"We have consolidated the personType, mailboxType and sources properties into one property called personType."

However, the values are not really just a combination of those values.
