How to add additional fields for user contact information within Entra user properties

Question

Hi all, I need to add an additional field to allow additional contact information such as a second telephone number into the "Job Information" tab within user properties. I can see I can click an add link to include "Manager" & "Sponsors" but no way of adding anything else. I would like to do this for all users within the Tenent. Many thanks Tim

You cannot add more fields in the UI. What you can do is use one of the built-in extensionAttributeXX, as detailed for example here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/onpremisesextensionattributes?view=graph-rest-1.0 Another alternative that does have an UI is Custom Security attributes: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/fundamentals/custom-security-attributes-overview If neither of those work for you, there are other methods that allow you to "extend" the Azure AD schema with additional attributes, but they all require additional configuration and can only be set via the Graph API.
