Creating AD users' extension properties

Required permission

You need to allow this permission for on your app registration page.

• Application.ReadWrite.All

Creating extension property

You have to get your application's ObjectId from the overview's page

Then you can make a POST request to this url to create a new extension property.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/applications/{APPLICATION_OBJECT_ID}/extensionProperties

{
    "name": "testString",
    "dataType": "String",
    "targetObjects": [
        "User"
    ]
}

Your response should look like this

{
    "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#applications({APPLICATION_OBJECT_ID})/extensionProperties/$entity",
    "id": "fa613ce9-164b-40ca-bf68-276195a1888c",
    "deletedDateTime": null,
    "appDisplayName": "My Application Name",
    "dataType": "String",
    "isSyncedFromOnPremises": false,
    "name": "extension_{APPLICATION_ID}_testString",
    "targetObjects": [
        "User"
    ]
}

Updating an AD user

Now, you can make a PATCH request to user's endpoint.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{USER_ID}

with this content

{
    "extension_{APPLICATION_ID}_testString": "my test string"
}

Getting new extention from user

You can get the new information from users

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$select=displayName,extension_{APPLICATION_ID}_testString

Response

{
    "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users(displayName,extension_{APPLICATION_ID}_testString)",
    "value": [
        {
            "displayName": "Bill Musk",
            "extension_{APPLICATION_ID}_testString": "my test string"
        }
