Get GitHub User by ObjectID from SCIM (Azure AD)

Question

I have a Github App and I would like to look up a Github User. We have our organization connected to our corporate Azure AD.

Is it possible to find a Github User based on an ObjectId or UPN from AzureAD?

I've tried this API https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/scim#get-scim-provisioning-information-for-a-user and gave my app "read-only on members" (https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/permissions-required-for-github-apps#permission-on-members), but it doesn't show anything.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Typically the AAD ObjectId would map to SCIM externalId. If GitHub supports it, GET /Users?filter=externalId eq "ObjectIDValue" or GET /Users?filter=userName eq "[email protected]"
