Read Multiple Users Profile Properties From SharePoint Online Using CSOM

This post is follow-up of the article https://www.morgantechspace.com/2016/09/read-sharepoint-user-profile-properties-csom.html, in previous post I have clearly explained about how to read current user profile properties, specific user (other user) properties and how to read only required profile properties using client object model (CSOM). One of our user asked the question “How to get a specific profile property (path to profile picture for example) for all of my Sharepoint’s website users in one request”, so I am writing this post to help every users.

Summary

• Get All Profile Properties for Multiple Users
• Get Specific Profile Properties for Multiple Users

public static void GetMultipleUsersProfileProperties()
{
    string siteUrl = "https://spotenant-admin.sharepoint.com";

    var passWord = new SecureString();
    foreach (char c in "pass@word1".ToCharArray()) passWord.AppendChar(c);
    var credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials("[email protected]", passWord);
           
    // Connect to the sharepoint site client context.
    ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
    clientContext.Credentials = credentials;

    // Get the PeopleManager object.
    PeopleManager peopleManager = new PeopleManager(clientContext);

    // Get multiple users
    List<string> Users = new List<string> { "[email protected]",
"[email protected]", "[email protected]" };

    var results = new Dictionary<string, PersonProperties>();
    foreach (var user in Users)
    {
        string loginName = "i:0#.f|membership|" + user;  //claim format login name
        var personProperties = peopleManager.GetPropertiesFor(loginName);
        clientContext.Load(personProperties, p => p.AccountName, p => p.DisplayName,
                           p => p.UserProfileProperties);
        results.Add(loginName, personProperties);
    }
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

    foreach (var kvp in results)
    {
        if (kvp.Value.ServerObjectIsNull.HasValue && !kvp.Value.ServerObjectIsNull.Value)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(kvp.Value.DisplayName);
            Console.WriteLine("---------------------------------");
            foreach (var property in kvp.Value.UserProfileProperties)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0}: {1}",
                    property.Key.ToString(), property.Value.ToString()));
            }                    
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("User not found:"+kvp.Key);
        }
        Console.WriteLine("------------------------------");
        Console.WriteLine("          ");
    }
}

public static void GetSpecificProfilePropertiesForAllUsers()
{

    ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
    clientContext.Credentials = credentials;

    // Get the PeopleManager object.
    PeopleManager peopleManager = new PeopleManager(clientContext);

    // Get multiple users - you can provide all users by fetching with different service
    // Ex: from Get-MsolUser powershell cmdlet
    List<string> Users = new List<string> { "[email protected]",
"[email protected]", "[email protected]" };

    var results = new Dictionary<string, IEnumerable<string>>();
    foreach (var user in Users)

        // Retrieve specific properties by using the GetUserProfilePropertiesFor method.  
        string[] profilePropertyNames = new string[] { "PersonalSpace", "PictureURL", "SPS-JobTitle" };
        UserProfilePropertiesForUser profilePropertiesForUser = new UserProfilePropertiesForUser(
            clientContext, loginName, profilePropertyNames);

        IEnumerable<string> profilePropertyValues = peopleManager.GetUserProfilePropertiesFor(profilePropertiesForUser);

        // Load the request for the set of properties. 
        clientContext.Load(profilePropertiesForUser);
        results.Add(loginName, profilePropertyValues);
    }
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

    foreach (var kvp in results)
    {
        if (kvp.Value != null && kvp.Value.Count() > 0)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("User :" + kvp.Key);
            // Returned collection contains only property values 
            foreach (var value in kvp.Value)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(value);
            }
