Selecting Employee Type Field in Dynamic Membership Rule in AAD Group

Question

Trying to set up a Dynamic Security User Group in Entra ID, by selecting only AAD Users with the Employee Type designation "Support Worker" in the Employee Type Field.

When I come to set up the rule, the field in question is not present, although it is showing up in the User Profile - Job Information tab.

Gentle nudge forward would be appreciated.

Answer

It is correct, it is not listed.
The interesting question is why not?

I wonder if this is the schema for Azure AD Graph: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/previous-versions/azure/ad/graph/api/entity-and-complex-type-reference#user-entity

where employeeType is not exist.

Does this feature rely on a depricated API?

It is a nice feature, but when it falls short and you have to code it yourself anyway....

Answer

I do not see that field as a supported type for dynamic groups:

Answer

Should definitely be able to use for selecting members of Dynamic Groups! Volunteers, Contractors, Temporary Workers - who doesn't need a group specifically for these people?

Answer

I see it that way, too! Also no progress on this matter at all.

But really great to have facsimileTelephoneNumber in 2024. At least you can group people togehter that share the same facsimile :).
