Manager attribute of the Azure Active Directory user table

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello everyone, 

In our model-driven app, we're leveraging aaduser virtual table to fetch users from our o365 tenant. In addition to this we would like to be able to show for each user the corresponding manager. This is not directly available as a table column but this is more an attribute that can be fetched through Graph API. 

Any easy / recommended way to workaround this?

Thanks

Faten

    You can do it that by include a plugin on the retrieve and retrievemultiple requests. Applying for each row searching the manager using Graph API. And you can apply the value that you found on a customized field inside the AAD Virtual Table.

    Hi @fatenyahiaoui_m 

     

    As a no-code alternative to what @Michaelfp suggested, you could achieve this through Power Automate.

    I also had a need to have the manager info in D365 sync'ed from AAD (now Microsoft Entra ID) in one of my projects and I found the following article very helpful (although it is a bit old now but it'll give you an idea) when building a flow:

    I hope this information helps.

     

    Kind regards

    @gulshankhurana  thank you, we eventually ended up choosing a low code approach using Power Automate like you suggested for the time being. The plugin option is to be explored later on if time permits
