Success creating a user using power automate - not all fields are exposed.

Posted on by doug-ppc

So I am able to create a user in power automate. But a bunch of fields are not offered in the power automate action for Create user (Entra ID).

Tried to use Update user afterwards - still no joy.

Would like to populate the following fields but don't see how:

Company name Employee ID Employee Type Employee Hire Date Street address City State or province Zip or postal code Country or region Email Fax number Usage location

Have a notion to tap into the Entra ID API by using the action named Invoke an HTTP request (Microsoft entra ID).

Used https://graph.microsoft.com for both URL and URI - seemed to get past the Get Resource - just don't know where to go from there.

I'm beginning to think I need to venture into power apps for this.

Any ideas out there please?

Thank you.

Hi

You need to use the HTTP Connector (Premium) and either write all the properties in the first call, or create them and then do a Patch with the rest. You can write to all those using Graph API.

So you could use the Create User you are doing, then use the Output (ID) from Entra, to make a call using the HTTP Connector to patch the rest of the details you want.

Even if you don't see them in an API etc, they are there, its really just... laziness in the documents to not show them all.

Create User - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Learn

And Like this for instance

PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user-id} Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Bearer {token} { "employeeId": "12345" }
