Edit User Profile List In SharePoint

In this blog, we will see how to edit the default User Profile List. By default, SharePoint does not provide a direct way to edit this hidden list.

Accessing the User Profile List 

https://RKSite.com/teams/RKDevSite/_catalogs/users/detail.aspx 
<<Site Url>>/_catalogs/users/detail.aspx

Steps to edit the User Profile List
  1. Get the GUID of the list.
  2. Form the URL to edit as a normal list.
Step 1

The below CSOM application code will help you in getting the GUID of the User Profile List. Create a console application and add CSOM NuGet package and replace the below code in Program.cs file.
  1. using System;  
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;  
  3. using System.Linq;  
  4. using System.Security;  
  5. using System.Text;  
  6. using System.Threading.Tasks;  
  7. using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;  
  8. namespace UserProfileList {  
  9.     class Program {  
  10.         static void Main(string[] args) {  
  11.             string siteUrl = "https://RKSite.com/teams/RKDevSite";  
  12.             using(ClientContext context = new ClientContext(siteUrl)) {  
  13.                 SecureString securePassword = GetSecureString( << Password >> );  
  14.                 context.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials( << UserName >> , securePassword);  
  15.                 List oList = context.Web.SiteUserInfoList;  
  16.                 CamlQuery camlQuery = new CamlQuery();  
  17.                 context.Load(oList);  
  18.                 context.ExecuteQuery();  
  19.                 Console.WriteLine(oList.Id);  
  20.             }  
  21.         }  
  22.         public static SecureString GetSecureString(string userPassword) {  
  23.             SecureString securePassword = new SecureString();  
  24.             foreach(char c in userPassword.ToCharArray()) {  
  25.                 securePassword.AppendChar(c);  
  26.             }  
  27.             return securePassword;  
  28.         }  
  29.     }  
  30. }  
Step 2

Once you get the GUID, build the URL as below.

https://RKSite.com/teams/RKDevSite/_layouts/15/listedit.aspx?List=77dffdaa-e518-1234-a1e4-8bb568fa22b6 
<<SiteUrl>> /_layouts/15/listedit.aspx?List=<<ListGUID>>

Here, the highlighted code is List GUID. Hope this blog will help you in coding.
