So, you’ve probably heard about custom security attributes in Azure AD, right? If not, let me break it down for you. Azure AD lets the cool tech folks (like you and me) craft our own attributes in the directory. Think of it as putting a custom sticker or label on certain users. Maybe you’ve got people working in specific departments or on particular projects? These custom attributes are like those name tags at networking events but way less awkward. And the best part? These can be a game-changer when you’re setting up stuff like conditional access policies.
Before diving deep, you’ll need the Microsoft.Graph module. It’s your gateway to all things Microsoft Graph when you’re in the PowerShell realm.
Alright, setting up a custom attribute. Graph isn’t going to hand-deliver this one, but here’s a workaround:
# First things first, connect to Graph
Connect-MgGraph
# Details for our new attribute
$attributeDetails = @{
id = “customExtension_DepartmentCode”
dataType = “String”
targetObjects = [“User”]
} | ConvertTo-Json
# Now, make it real
Invoke-MgGraphRequest -Method POST -Uri “https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/schemaExtensions” -Body $attributeDetails
