Azure Active Directory
Welcome to the Azure Active Directory suggestions and feedback site! We love hearing from you. If you have suggestions, please submit an idea or vote up an idea. We are monitoring the site actively.
Thank you for joining our community and helping improve Azure AD!
Wehave a new log in experience integrated with Azure AD, and we stronglyrecommend you log in with your Azure AD (Office 365) account. If yourUserVoice account is the same email address as your Azure AD account, yourprevious activities will be automatically mapped to your Azure AD account.

SCIM defects
The Azure AD SCIM client does not follow the SCIM Base URI properly.
As per, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7644#section-1.3,
The resource relative paths (e.g. /Users) needs to be appended to the configured Base URI.
Azure AD is instead appending "/scim/Users" to the URI configured on the Provisioning tab of the app. If my SaaS application requires the tenant ID in the path (e.g. https://bla/scim/tenantID/), this is not possible with Azure's client.The Azure AD SCIM client doesn't implement a proper OAuth2 client. It simply asks for the OAuth bearer token to be provided in the configuration. This is no good since…
44 votesThe first issue is fixed as described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/application-provisioning-config-problem-scim-compatibility
OAuth authorization code grant flow is now supported for new apps that want to be added to the Azure AD app gallery. You can request your app be added here – https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/howto-app-gallery-listing
Work is underway to make the authorization code grant flow available for custom apps.

Allow for additional user profile attributes to be updated to applications beyond user name, manager, active status and language.
Currently only able to update the following from Azure AD to Cornerstone On Demand App:
cornerStoneUser.Contact.Name.Last
cornerStoneUser.Contact.Name.First
cornerStoneUser.Active
cornerStoneUser.Organization.Manager
cornerStoneUser.Language
We would greatly benefit from being able to update the Department/Division attribute as well, as we have a moderate amount of movement between Departments within our organization.
23 votesWe would like to support these attributes, but our focus currently is on SCIM applications and Cornerstone currently does not SCIM. We will reevaluate this once SCIM is supported.

Azure AD - SaaS - SCIM provisioning of AD attribute thumbnailPhoto
Azure AD SCIM Provisioning should allow for the provisioning/mapping of the AD attribute thumbnailPhoto to SaaS applications. This value is already present within Azure.

serviceNow
I think there is significant area for improvement of the Auto Provisioning functionality when dealing with referenced fields.
For example, the user table within ServiceNow looks similar to the sample snippet below:
TABLE - User [sys_user]
FIELD - Username [username] - string
FIELD - Name [name] - string
FIELD - Email [email] - string
FIELD - Department [department] - references Department [cmndepartment] table
FIELD - Location [location] - references Location [cmn_location] table
FIELD - etc. etc.Provisioning from Azure - in the cloud - is an awesome alternative to the previous configuration of having ServiceNow communicate with on-prem…

Integrate site mapping for Samanage App
I am provisioning users from AAD to Samanage and I am trying to map the AD attribute "physicalDeliveryOfficeName" to the Samanage "site" attribute. This mapping is currently not supported and I would find it useful.

Attribute SAMAccountName for the ServiceNow User provisioning
Would be great to to have in the supported list of attributes in the ServiceNow user provisioning app the attribute SamAccountName. This is important for example for the intgegration of legacy applications like SCCM in ServiceNow asset management. Thanks for your support

Allow dynamic permission set assignment in Salesforce provisioning
Right now AAD supports a "Permission Sets"attribute, however this is not usable. Salesforce users have multiple Permission Sets, which are dependent on their O365 groups. For example, members of the O365 group "IT Services Team" would get the permission set "IT Services" in Salesforce. Until AAD's Salesforce connector supports mapping Permission Sets based on group membership in AAD, most organizations will not be able to use AAD for Salesforce provisioning.

Make Azure Groups PATCH remove operation SCIM v2 compliant
The request body for Update Group [Remove Members] is not compliant with the SCIM v2 specification.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/use-scim-to-provision-users-and-groups#update-group-remove-membersAzure is specifying the member value they want deleted in the "value" property. SCIM specification states that the member value that would be removed in the PATCH operation needs to be set in the "path" property, not "value". The "value" property should actually never be sent in a PATCH remove operation per specification.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7644#section-3.5.2.2If a Service Provider that implemented SCIM per specification were to receive PATCH remove request from Azure as is documented above, that request would result in ALL users being…

Allow user folder provisioning for Box upon user assignment in Azure ADP
We made the choice to use Azure AD Premium as the main IdP platform for our organization despite being a newer product in the IdP market space. Unfortunately due to the newness we understand it hasn't quite caught up with others like Okta, etc. as far as being able to extend certain items to the Box cloud space.
One feature we observed when aligning Okta & Box is that when a user gets assigned or provisioned to the Box Application, they also have the ability to provision a user folder at the time the account is provisioned.
We would like…

Azure AD User provisioning service : Adding a Staging/Preview mode
Please add a Staging/Preview mode for the Azure AD User Provisioning Service.
It should be possible in an initial setup to test a new provisioning interface and receive a report on what will be changed in an end application. This gives the possibility and security that a new interface can be set up productively.
There is currently a risk that unwanted changes will be made.
As a suggestion; extension of the Scope field by

Push Profile Photo and Manager via scim
It appears that user's profile photo and manager are currently not pushed by Azure AD when it does a SCIM sync. Add support for pushing those attributes.
8 votesHi we are currently designing this feature. What format does your application support for photos (Jpeg, PNG, GIF)?

Make provision sync on demand
Make provision sync on demand for testing purpose.
User and group sync normally takes about 5~30 minutes. It is very inconvenient and inefficient for testing. Azure AD should allow on demand sync when it is testing phase and the total users are less than a numbers, for example 50.

(Provision null attributes) Add option to have properties be emptied after clearing them in Azure AD
Right now, I can set a phone number and clear it again in Azure. Azure will update the phonenumber in the application but will never clear it. This is by design I understand that, but our customers would like the option to also clear this information as they consider AAD the source/leading system and it's primary task is to make sure all other applications have the same data, which currently is not the case as the data is never removed from applications after it is removed from AAD

Get group membership as an attribute of the user when provisioning with SCIM
When mapping Azure AD attributes to application attributes, I would to know the group membership in order to set properly the values of the target attributes.
Imagine the licence is an attribute of the user object. It can be "premium"/"silver"/etc.
On-premises, in AD, I manage my group membership by adding the user to groups like "MyApplicationPremium", "MyApplicationSilver", etc.
By leveveraging the group membership in the mapping, I can set the proper licence.
There is no other way to manage this as I will not have an attribute for each application to hold the licence for instance.3 votes -
Support filtering = false | ServiceProviderConfig
Azure AD SCIM client is not compatible with applications, which do not support "filtering".
If “filtering” is not supported by 3rd party app, do not ignore that.
Use the “matching” attribute defined in mappings during the initial cycle to check, if the resource exists.
If resource exists (HTTP-200), save “ID” persistently.
Use “ID” in every subsequent requestcf. RFC7644 section 4: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7644#section-4

Additional User Entitlement in Salesforce Provisioning
At the moment, AFAIK, the Salesforce Connector provisions a Salesforce Profile to a User based on the Security Group they belong to in a 1 to 1 mapping.
User Provisioning should cover more.
A Salesforce User can have:
- 1 Profile
- 0 to 1 Role
- 0 to N Permission Sets
- 0 to N Permission Set Groups
- member of 0 to N Public Groups
- member of 0 to N QueuesHow to provision the other entitlements from AD ?
3 votesAre you looking to push that data from Azure AD to Salesforce or import from Salesforce to Azure AD.
For the former we support profiles, roles, permission sets, permissions. You can go into the attribute mappings and add new mappings for the properties you need. We are evaluating the Salesforce SCIM endpoint to see if we can move to a more standards based integration and support all the attributes that you are requesting.
For the latter we support importing roles as an Azure AD profile.

AAD provisioning does not show Audit logs for group membership
AAD and G suite provisioning does not show Audit logs for group membership update which is I believe quite important to know. As per MS agent :
If the user is not provisioned already on G suite, when we try to update group membership, this would obviously fail since we don't have a reference attribute to resolve on the target. Currently, by design, Azure AD doesn't retry the previously failed group membership update after the user is provisioned. Workarounds to fix this problem is to remove and re-add the user as a member of the group or trigger a clear…

Please support Join in provisioning with user groups in Azure AD.
Please support Join function in provisioning with user groups in Azure AD.
Excerpt:
Matching based on a combination of attributes is not supported: Most applications do not support querying based on two properties. Therefore, it is not possible to match based on a combination of attributes. It is possible to evaluate single properties on after another.

IDCS Provisioning doesn't work
The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Gallery app uses OracleIDCS object. But it doesn't support the attribute primary email = boolean. You cannot create a user in IDCS unless you set the email and put it as primary. so essentially, the email.primary has to be set to a boolean(true). Please include it in the OracleIDCS objectclass
2 votesWhich email would you like to set as the primary? If the work email is part of the mappings, we send that as the primary.
