damomac85 , did you figure out how to do this? I'm trying to do the same thing and can't find any documentation on it...

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    I achived this by using a power bi workflow to connect to AD and refresh the data over night, as this informaion is not transactional based so does not update very oftern.

     

    I then joined to the datasource using email address. This might not be the best/most efficient way to do this but it was enought to cover my requirement.
