The Office 365 Connector supports the ability to assign a manager to a user.

  1. The pingSourceDn field must be mapped to an attribute containing a unique identifier for the user.
    Note: By default this is mapped to the distinguishedName field. We recommend leaving this field mapped to the default mapping.
  2. The manager field must either be set to a static value, or mapped to an attribute containing the value of the assigned manager's pingSourceDn field.
    Note: By default this is mapped to the manager field. We recommend leaving this field mapped to the default mapping.

An example of how assigning a manager to a user works

Note: The following assumes the default mappings for the pingSourceDn and manager fields.
  1. The manager is provisioned to Azure.
  2. The employee is provisioned to Azure.
  3. The employee's manager, under their Organization tab in Active Directory (AD), is set to the manager in AD.
  4. The Office 365 Connector will assign the manager as the employee's manager in Azure.
Tip: To update or clear the employee's manager in Azure, change or clear the employee's manager under their Organization tab in AD.
