Create identityUserFlowAttribute

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Create a new custom identityUserFlowAttribute object.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	IdentityUserFlow.ReadWrite.All	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	IdentityUserFlow.ReadWrite.All	Not available.

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be an owner or member of the group or be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. External ID User Flow Attribute Administrator is the least privileged role supported for this operation.

displayName	String	The display name of the user flow attribute.
description	String	The description of the user flow attribute. It's shown to the user at the time of sign-up.
userFlowAttributeType	String	The type of the user flow attribute. This is a read-only attribute that is automatically set. Depending on the type of attribute, the values for this property are builtIn or custom.
dataType	String	The data type of the user flow attribute. This can't be modified once the custom user flow attribute is created. The supported values for dataType are: string : denotes that the dataType for the identityUserFlowAttribute is a string. Boolean : denotes that the dataType for the identityUserFlowAttribute is a Boolean. int64 : denotes that the dataType for the identityUserFlowAttribute is an integer.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and identityUserFlowAttribute object in the response body. If unsuccessful, a 4xx error is returned with specific details.
