Mapping attributes in Microsoft Entra ID (ME-ID) to custom group fields

If you want to import attributes from ME-ID into custom group fields, do the following:

  1. In your already existing provisioning app go to: Mappings - Provision Azure Active Directory Groups - Show advanced options - Edit attribute list for customappsso and add description:
    • Type: String
    • Primary Key?- No
    • Required - No
    • Multi-Value? - No
    • Exact case? -No
  2. Then use the Add New Mapping option:
    • Source attribute - description
    • Target attribute - description
  3. Save the settings and restart provisioning
note

Group descriptions typically do not update immediately, but rather during the second or third automatic provisioning cycle. Updates can be accelerated by using the "provisioning on demand" command.
