How to update user profile properties in CSOM?
Previously you could have taken advantage of the user profile CSOM operations for updating specific properties for user profiles, but this is not that performant and in case of thousands of profiles, operation is too time consuming.
As part of the new Client Side Object Model (CSOM) version (4622.1208 or newer), SharePoint has new capability for bulk importing custom user profile properties. This capability has been now enabled in the first release tenants in Office 365 cross the world.
How to add custom user properties in ASP.NET Core Identity?
On your Package Manager Console window, run the following 2 commands: When the commands complete, the SQL table called AspNetUsers of the Identity Database (that stores user data), will contain 3 new columns that represent these 3 added properties. You can open the AspNetUsers SQL table and check these 3 newly added columns.
How are the properties stored in a script?
Each key-value pair of the object in the parameter is stored as a separate property: // Set multiple script properties in one call. To retrieve a single value that you have previously saved, call Properties.getProperty (key): // Get the value for the user property ‘DISPLAY_UNITS’.
How to create custom properties in user profile?
Because there are no remote APIs for creating custom properties in the user profile service, this step must be performed manually for each of the tenants where custom user profile properties are needed (this only needs to be done once per tenant). Only user profile properties that are not “allowed to be edited by end users” can be imported.
Is there way to bulk update user profile properties?
Prior to this release, your only option was to take advantage of the user profile CSOM operations for updating specific properties for individual user profiles. However, this approach is inefficient and too time-consuming (especially when dealing with thousands of profiles).
Can a custom user profile be imported into Active Directory?
The import only works for user profile properties that have not been set to be editable by end users. This is to prevent the user profile import process from overriding any information that an end user has already updated. Additionally, the import only allows custom properties that are not Active Directory core properties.
