Solved: Integer value expected for attribute

Integer value expected for attribute

Hello everyone,

I've encountered an issue while adding a custom security attribute using the Microsoft Graph API. I'm hoping someone can help shed light on this situation.

Specifically, when I try to add the custom attribute "level" within the "org" part of the customSecurityAttributes object using the following JSON:

{
 "customSecurityAttributes": {
 "org": {
 "level": 1,
 "@odata.type": "#Microsoft.DirectoryServices.CustomSecurityAttributeValue"
 }
 }
}

I receive the following error: "'Integer value expected for attribute.'. ParameterName: 'org_level' ParameterValue: '1'."

However, when I manually retrieve the attribute for a user, its structure appears as follows:

{
 "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users(customSecurityAttributes)/$entity",
 "customSecurityAttributes": {
 "org": {
 "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.customSecurityAttributeValue",
 "employeetype": "student",
 "level": 2
 }
 }
}

I've noticed that adding the employeetype attribute works fine. However, when attempting to add the "level" attribute with a numeric value, I encounter the mentioned error.

Does anyone have experience with this issue or know why this error is occurring? Is there a specific way that numeric values for customSecurityAttributes need to be formatted or represented?
