Microsoft 365 defender user timeline through powershell

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to use PowerShell instead of the 365 portal in order to track user activity log (user timeline). user timeline is really helpful but it would be great ...

Hi geostylianou,

retrieving the user activity timeline directly from Microsoft 365 Defender through PowerShell is not possible.

The Microsoft Defender for Endpoint device timeline provides a chronological presentation of events and associated alerts observed on a particular device.
While it allows exploration of specific events and endpoints for investigating potential attacks within the organization, it's important to know that this information is specific to devices and not individual users.
