Azure AD, Powershell to get all user properties

Question

Azure AD, Powershell to get all user properties

Arif Usman 496

folks,

I am in processes to integrate Workday in Azure and have few questions about AAD. It is totally base on US and in Azure Cloud (so there is no on premise server).

I am trying to map Workday with Azure AD properties but seems like i am able to get all user properties. My question when i ran PowerShell like

Get-AzureADUser -ObjectId "******@contosso.com"| fl

I get properties but not all, some are for example Managers, office and more not there.

what is the best command to run get all AAD user properties?

2nd. I am looking to add some properties in AAD for example EmployeeID, WorkID? what is the best way to add properties?

Thanks for your help in advance.

This answer is not useful unless you already know the property name you need. For example I need to know name, company name, and department name. Some of these attributes may be available for me in custom attributes but unless I started with the company and created these attributes how do I know what they expose? I would like to see a list of all available attributes or properties. Why is this so hard?

"All" is a relative term, there are many attributes that are not exposed via the admin tools or not even synced to Azure AD from the corresponding workloads. But if you know what specific attribute you are looking for, you can easily find the corresponding cmdlet (if one exists). Here's also a reference for what's available via the Graph API (again, not everything is listed): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/user?view=graph-rest-1.0

To add custom attributes, follow the steps here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/azure/ad/graph/howto/azure-ad-graph-api-directory-schema-extensions

The cmdlet you need for that is Get-AzureADUserManager. OfficeLocation is exposed via PowerShell as PhysicalDeliveryOfficeName. As I said, you can look those up online.

In Attributes there is no country mentioned, so difficult to filter out the list based on Country
