Azure AD B2C Upload Profile image of the user

Question

Hi,

I want to upload my user profile image to azure ad b2c from graph api and fetch it too through graph api.

Any sample or documentation related to it.

thank you.

Answer 1

Microsoft Azure AD B2C currently doesn't handle profile pictures gracefully and there is a bug reported.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1042453/(bug)-changing-users-thumbnail-in-azure-ad-b2c-doe

Also, Microsoft retired Azure AD Graph API and migrating to Microsoft Graph API, the associated graph API endpoint is currently not supported for profile pictures.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/profilephoto-update?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http#:%7E:text=Updating%20a%20user%27s%20photo%20using%20the%20Microsoft%20Graph%20API%20is%20currently%20not%20supported%20in%20Azure%20AD%20B2C%20tenants

So there is no solution to store profile pictures in Azure ADB2C as of now.

This is quite disappointing.

Answer 2

Hi, in B2C you can use these Graph API's. You can try to use the profilePhoto resource type which lets you get/update a photo.
This may work:

GET https://graph.windows.net/myorganization/users/{user_id}/thumbnailPhoto?api-version  
PATCH https://graph.windows.net/myorganization/users/{user_id}?api-version
