I am a newbie to Python and learning the best I can but I’m also new to using the GraphSDK (much more familiar with the Okta SDK – I am looking to just basically auth to Entra using an app registration which is working but it fails to do the user lookup and Im not sure why. The error I get is 2024-05-10 09:47:13,899 – ERROR – Error finding user: ‘GraphServiceClient’ object has no attribute ‘get’ but I am not sure what the best way to find the USERID then if there is no get method

Anyone have any ideas? I’m sure it’s something obvious.

I’ve tried just formatting it different ways and checking the SDK documentation but I think I’m overlooking something simple. Ran it through chatGPT but it lacks the updated SDK documentation so no help there. Help a poor noob 🙁
