Remove manager

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi,

I'm developping automation for account termination and I'm stumbling when trying to remove the manager of a user.

The AAD Connector Assign Manager works well to add someone but I cannot find how to remove an existing manager.

I tried assigning the User ID of the Manager to Null but I get the error: "Invalid target for navigation property update. URI must target an entity."

 

The value for a blank manager in PowerShell is $null, not an empty string.

I also tried to find an AzureAD or O365 connector to do this without success

 

I want no manager!I want no manager!

    If you are going to terminate the account there is no reason you will need to remove the manager.  Terminating the account should do that automatically.

    Our termination process is in two stages, we disable the account but keep it alive for 30 days with an Out Of Office.

    I don't think the Manager can be set back to null after its been set.  But you could create a placeholder account in AAD and use that instead of the old manager.

    Hi @Anonymous , I believe you can do what you want using MS GRAPH (a  premium connector required).
