How to add Employee type to "create user"

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 22

Hello folks,

 

I am trying to automate our onboarding process but can't find a solution to add this information when using "Create user", I am not a pro power automation user but I guess it is possible to automate "Employee type and Manager" maybe using customizable extension attribute from "Update user".

 

Any help would be really appreciated 🙏🙏

    Hi @Everart_Araujo,

     

    A workaround could be to create the user via Graph API instead. With this approach you can add fields like employeeType in the body.


    Below is an example 

    This setup uses a HTTP action which is part of a premium connector and also requires you to setup an app in azure ad with the correct Graph API permissions.

     

     

    {
     "accountEnabled": true,
     "displayName": "Roger Federer",
     "mailNickname": "roger",
     "userPrincipalName": "roger@contoso.onmicrosoft.com",
     "passwordProfile" : {
     "forceChangePasswordNextSignIn": true,
     "password": "yourcustompassword"
     },
    "employeeType": "Best tennis player of all time"
    }

    Thank's for your reply, I am using a Form to collect the responses and have 0 knowledge about Graph API, in that case, can you point a tutorial so I can get started with Graph Api and Azure add?

     

    Thanks for your help mate🙏
