Can I retrive also the company and the phone number when I sign in/sign up with LinkedIn with custom policy Azure B2C?

Question

Hello,
As is in documentation : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/identity-provider-linkedin?pivots=b2c-custom-policy#add-a-user-journey, when you signin/sign up with Linkedin with custom policy Azure B2c, we can prefill givenname and surname from LinkedIn:
]1

But I need also the company and the phone number.
Is it possible? How?

Thank you in advance!
Irina

Hi @Andon Irina · Thank you for reaching out.

Looking at the Linked in Technical Profile within the custom policy, we make below API call with r_emailaddress and r_liteprofile scopes:

Get https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me

The information returned from above endpoint is passed to B2C during claims exchange. I checked and found that above GET call returns below information only and doesn't return company and phone number.

Also, while configuring LinkedIn Application, we authorize "Sign In with LinkedIn", which includes only the r_emailaddress and r_liteprofile scopes that doesn't allow retrieving organization and phone info.
