Hi I have opened the Active Directory conenctor and get presented with approx 100 tables/lists that can be accessed.
I am simply looking to get User Display Name, Email, Department (I know we have a department heirarchy as follows)
Attribute Azure AD Attribute Name
Department = extension_fe262454b0eb4f54a428b17316bd0632_extensionAttribute1
Department 2 = extension_fe262454b0eb4f54a428b17316bd0632_division
Department 3 = Department
Is Active Directory the correct connection?
If Yes which list AD list should contain the above?
Alternatively is there a better way?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try navigating to "User", and then "Organizational Person". You might have to click and peek inside of the records to make sure you choose the right fields.

Is the connector only for on premise AD?
Is there anyway to query Azure AD?
