Failed to upload user profile photo for undefined Azure for student Active Directory Microsoft Entra Id

Question

Hi can you help me out. I can't upload user profile photo in Microsoft Entra Id to get it later in my application. I have tried both with user interface and with command line

Answer 1

Hello Dorra,

Thanks for your question.

The error usually occurs, if you are connecting Azure AD with Insufficient privileges (user has no admin privileges) or connecting with the wrong Tenant-ID

Try to connect again using:

Connect-AzureAD -TenantId "<Your-Tenant-ID>"

If you have multiple tenants or are unsure of the permissions, reauthenticate with an account that has admin privileges in the correct tenant. e.g Global Admin.

See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/role-assignments-list-portal

Get-AzureADDirectoryRole -ObjectId "<user>"

Hi @dorra bouaziz

Thank you for posting this in Microsoft Q&A.

I understand that you are encountering an error stating "Failed to upload user profile photo for undefined" while trying to upload a user profile in Entra.

Based on the provided screenshots, it appears that the user was not found in the tenant to which you are connected. Please ensure that the user exists in the tenant you are attempting to log into. Make sure that the user is present in the tenant to which you are connected.

Run below PowerShell commands:

Connect-AzureAD -TenantId  <TenantId>
Get-AzureADUser -ObjectId <objectId>
Set-AzureADUserThumbNailPhoto -ObjectId <user objectid/UPN> -FilePath c:\desktop\MyPhoto.jpg
