Support for Provisioning Operations of 'manager' Attribute

The Azure Active Directory supports the manager attribute for the following:

  • Account Aggregation (Full and Delta): On Account Aggregation, the manager attribute for a user populates for a non-null (blank) value on the Active Directory Managed System. Add the manager attribute in the account schema with the string type. For more information on adding attributes to the account schema, see Editing an Account Schema.

  • Provisioning: The manager attribute is supported for the Add, Remove, and Set operations where the value of the manager can be set as either objectId or the userPrincipalName. Add the manager attribute in the Provisioning policy. The blank value in the Set operation is applicable to remove the manager value at the Azure Active Directory managed system.
