Published Date : 24 Aug 2015   Last Updated : 26 Apr 2023   Content Ref: TEC4699981

Requirements

Destination Microsoft 365 attribute RM Unify attribute Data source of RM Unify user Source of RM Unify attribute value Example

If the field is blank, RM Unify populates with '?'

More Information

Where the Microsoft 365 domain has been federated to RM Unify, RM Unify (as the identity provider) has been granted the authority to sync the above attributes to the users' accounts. An attempt to permanently change some of the above attributes, either via the 'Microsoft 365 admin center', or via Windows® PowerShell®, may have unintended consequences. In most cases, any change in Microsoft 365 will be reverted the next time data is synced from RM Unify. This could be a single user sync, or could be a sync of all data (e.g. following an RM Unify AD Sync resync).
