Question

Body

Is there any way we can fetch the email of the user which is not publicly visible email, rather an email from the Emails section of the user profile through the Graphql API?

Hi @nirav-gajera , could you please help here. Any pointers on why it is not working?

[utkarsha-ubale-sp]

Hi @nirav-gajera, I tried this from postman but getting this error.

Could you please let me know if I am doing something wrong here.
Thanks!

Hi @nirav-gajera

I am not able to see Setup > Permissions in my org. Are there some specific permissions required to view that?

[byrneh]

@utkarsha-ubale-sp there is no field "emailAddresses" on object "user"
You can see the availale fields on object 'user' in the docs here #user.

You cannot get private email addresses, as they are private!
The slight exception to this is it being possbe to view non-public emails of organization members that match an organization verified domain email address (as the email domain is verified as belonging to the orgnaization and private to an individual as such)

[byrneh]

Follow these instructions
#verifying-a-domain-for-your-organization

[utkarsha-ubale-sp]

For the emails to be visible, the domain has to be verified? Just the approval won't work, right?

[byrneh]

Just do verified domain, this is what you need.

Approved domains, if you read up about it is a slightly different topic as it allows you to restrict email notifications to verified and approved domains.

Hi @byrneh

I checked this use case by verifying the domain, but still I am not able to access the private emails of that domain. Is there something else required to make the private emails visible in the response of query.
This is query I am using :

query ListOrganizationMembers($org: String!, $cursor: String, $first: Int = 100) {
viewer {
organization(login: $org) {
membersWithRole(after: $cursor, first: $first) {
totalCount
edges {
hasTwoFactorEnabled
role
node {
databaseId
login
name
id

twitterUsername

gists {

websiteUrl

}
}
pageInfo {

hasNextPage
}

			}
		}
	}
}

Thanks in advance!
