I have a Power Apps canvas application, and i want to get the User's Description field from Active Directory. now when i tried the SearchUser() connector, seems the properties i will get do not include the "Description" field, as follow:-

So is there any appraoch to get this info inside my Canvas app? if not, then can i use power automate to get this info? keeping in mind that most of our users do not have premium license inside power platform.

thanks

Hi johnjohnPter,

You should be able to use the following code to get more options for the User but I am not sure if there is a Description field. The one I am showing in the exmaple is an AboutMe information.

Office365Users.UserProfileV2(User().Email).aboutMe

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Nandit
