Mapping attributes in Microsoft Entra ID (ME-ID) to custom user fields
If you want to import attributes from ME-ID into custom user fields, do the following:
-
In ME-ID, navigate to the mapping settings ( Provisioning - Edit provisioning - Mappings - Provision Microsoft Entra ID Users).
-
View advanced options and navigate to Edit attribute list for customappsso 3. For each custom user field, create a new attribute with a name of the form
urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:alvao_tPersonCust:2.0:User:{column name of the custom field in the database}.Example: to import values into the
tPersonCust.IpTelefoncustom field, create an attribute namedurn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:alvao_tPersonCust:2.0:User:IpTelefon. -
Save your changes and go back to the list of mapped attributes.
-
Use the Add New Mapping command to create a mapping between the new attributes in SCIM and the fields from Microsoft Entra ID (the mapping specifies what and how the attributes will be populated).
-
All existing users are updated during the next setup cycle.
For more information on mapping individual attributes, see Tutorial - Customize Microsoft Entra ID attribute mappings in Application Provisioning | Microsoft Docs.
