What properties of User object are not supported as part of the change tracking mechanism?

Question

According to the docs of the User object here, some of its properties are not stored in Microsoft Entra ID but in SharePoint Online. These properties aren't supported as part of change tracking. Therefore, a change to any of these properties doesn't result in an object showing up in the delta query response.

During testing we also verified that changes in these properties are not returned via the change notifications mechanism.

Is there any exhaustive list of such properties? Here is the full list of User properties

Also, what is the designated way to learn for changes in these properties without polling of each specific user?

Thank you in advance, Manos

Answer 1

I don't think there is a doc that lists these properties. At the moment you have to go through the user object to identify these properties. The only factor is that they are properties that are not part of the main data store (Entra ID).

Here is a list I have come up with(- Not verified so may not be accurate) while I try and get an official doc that states the props.
