Hello,

Is there a way to pull an extended attribute employeeType from Azure AD to auto fill a field?

Thank you in advanced.

Check with the on-premises Active Directory domain admins whether the required attributes are part of the AD DS schema, and if they are not, extend the AD DS schema in the domains where those users have accounts.
Configure Azure AD Connect or Azure AD Connect cloud sync to synchronize the users with their extension attribute from Active Directory to Azure AD. Azure AD Connect automatically synchronizes certain attributes to Azure AD, but not all attributes. Furthermore, some attributes (such as sAMAccountName) that are synchronized by default might not be exposed using the Graph API. In these cases, you can use the Azure AD Connect directory extension feature to synchronize the attribute to Azure AD. That way, the attribute will be visible to the Graph API and the Azure AD provisioning service.
If the users in on-premises Active Directory do not already have the required attributes, you will need to update the users in Active Directory. This can be done either by reading the properties from Workday, from SAP SuccessFactors, or if you are using a different HR system, using Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM).
Wait for Azure AD Connect to synchronize those updates you made in the Active Directory schema and the Active Directory users into Azure AD.

Hope this helps.

Hello RonitJ,

Thank you for your response. We have already extended our Azure AD Connect schema to include the new attribute employeeType. We are able to see the attribute and its value when using PowerShell, however, what we are trying to accomplish is to display that attribute in Power Apps application.

I used AzureAD connector in my app and the following function on a field to retrieve the value AzureAD.GetUser('useremail@companyname.onmicrosoft.com'). However, I'm not seeing employeeType as an option to select.

Because the attribute is considered as an extended attribute to Azure AD Connect default schema, I was wondering if there is another way I should get that value into Power Apps.

Any guidance?

Regards,
Tatyana
