custom user attributes

Question

custom user attributes

Vikas D 1

Hello

I am looking for an api_endpoint from which I can get all user attributes (include custom and built-in attributes), I have gone through too many documents but did not find anything relevant to it.
I found below the endpoint in which user_attribute are coming but the custom attribute is still missing.
Request-Type:- GET
Request-Url:- https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata

I created the custom attribute from the azure portal itself, also grant all the API permission, and also enable the attribute on user_flow(not sure if it is required to enable in user_flow)

FYI

I also tried to create custom attributes through API,
Request-Type:- POST
Request-url:- https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/applications/{object_id}/extensionProperties
Authorization:- Bearer token
data-json:- {"name":"attribute_name","dataType":"string","targetObjects":["User"]}

By using API I am able to create the attribute and also able to update the value of it, but azure save the attribute with some extensions
"name": "extension_{client_d}_test_test_test_attribute" like this. and i did not want like this.
What I am looking for is to create custom attributes from the azure portal and get those attributes through api_endpoint.

Hi @Vikas D

You can use the beta endpoint to list all attributes of a user, including your customized attributes.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/users/{user-id}

I have already tried that but the custom attribute I created through the Azure portal is not showing in the API.

https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/CompanyRelationshipsMenuBlade/UserAttributes

Above is the link from where I created custom-attribute

strong text" Also I am not able to update the custom field though update API" below is the endpoint which I tried to update the value

Request-url:- https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user_id}
Request-type:- PATCH
request-parameter in json :- { "{attribute_name}": "{value}" }

I also tried with extension in request parameter :- { "extension_{client_id}_{attribute_name}": "{value}" }. but it did not work

Hi @Vikas D

try this: GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user id}?$select=extension_48c33b45c4f8419eb9d97a0f3ff1817b_{attribute_name} Note that the Application (client) ID as it's represented in the extension attribute name includes no hyphens. see here.

Hi @CarlZhao-MSFT

Thanks for the response, but I want an api_endpoint that return all user attributes(built_in and custom), and for that, I already use this api_endpoint(https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata)
but it is not getting all the attributes so is there any alternative for this?

Thanks

Hi @Vikas D

Using the beta endpoint can definitely get all the attributes of the user, including custom attributes. Before doing so, please make sure that you have set B2C custom attributes for users.

Hi @CarlZhao-MSFT

I got your point, but my issue is how can I update the custom attribute which I created from the Azure portal, as I am not able to update the custom attribute value which one I created from the Azure portal

Thanks
