Answer 1

You can use hidden User Profile list: link

The User Information List can be accessed (Only if you’re admin) via the browser by navigating to /_catalogs/users/simple.aspx from your site. (Ex: http://myportal/_catalogs/users/simple.aspx)

Hi MGerio,

According to your description, my understanding is that you want to import AD user profiles to a SharePoint 2013 list.

You can create a SQL table to store all AD information, synchronization can be done through SQL and you can use BCS to display this information in SharePoint.

Or, you can find a third party solution to do it, like:

In addition, here is a similar post for your reference:
