Missing attributes on User

Looking to retrieve the pager attribute for user on Microsoft graph. Doesn't seem to be in v1.0 or beta.

When I run

https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/

I get most of the attributes I need however I also need to return the pager attribute.

when i do https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me?$select=displayname,pager it doesnt work

I had a look at the meta data and see pager under PhoneType but unsure how to retrieve it.

From https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/$metadata:

<EnumType Name="phoneType">
    <Member Name="home" Value="0" />
    <Member Name="business" Value="1" />
    <Member Name="mobile" Value="2" />
    <Member Name="other" Value="3" />
    <Member Name="assistant" Value="4" />
    <Member Name="homeFax" Value="5" />
    <Member Name="businessFax" Value="6" />
    <Member Name="otherFax" Value="7" />
    <Member Name="pager" Value="8" />
    <Member Name="radio" Value="9" />
</EnumType>

Any help on this would be fantastic. Thanks in advance

Just to be clear, The /beta version actually returns all of the user's attributes. The /v1.0 version includes a default $select, but the /beta version applies no selection or filter criteria of any kind.

More importantly, phoneType enumeration is not used by the user entity. It is only used by the person and contact entities.

The phoneType enum is only referenced by the microsoft.graph.phone type (which comes from Exchange, not AAD):

<ComplexType Name="phone">
    <Property Name="type" Type="microsoft.graph.phoneType"/>
    <Property Name="number" Type="Edm.String"/>
</ComplexType>

In turn, the type microsoft.graph.phone is only applied to two resources: person and contact (i.e. Outlook Contacts):

<EntityType Name="person" BaseType="microsoft.graph.entity">
    <!-- snipp -->
    <Property Name="emailAddresses" Type="Collection(microsoft.graph.rankedEmailAddress)"/>
    <Property Name="phones" Type="Collection(microsoft.graph.phone)"/>
    <Property Name="postalAddresses" Type="Collection(microsoft.graph.location)"/>
    <!-- snipp -->
</EntityType>
<EntityType Name="contact" BaseType="microsoft.graph.outlookItem" OpenType="true">
    <!-- snipp -->
    <Property Name="manager" Type="Edm.String"/>
    <Property Name="phones" Type="Collection(microsoft.graph.phone)"/>
    <Property Name="postalAddresses" Type="Collection(microsoft.graph.physicalAddress)"/>
    <Property Name="spouseName" Type="Edm.String"/>
    <!-- snipp -->
</EntityType>

The user entity does not contain a pager property (nor most of the others listen in the phoneType enum).
