attributeDefinition resource type

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Describes an attribute of an object.

Properties

Property	Type	Description
anchor	Boolean	true if the attribute should be used as the anchor for the object. Anchor attributes must have a unique value identifying an object, and must be immutable. Default is false. One, and only one, of the object's attributes must be designated as the anchor to support synchronization.
caseExact	Boolean	true if value of this attribute should be treated as case-sensitive. This setting affects how the synchronization engine detects changes for the attribute.
defaultValue	String	The default value of the attribute.
flowNullValues	Boolean	'true' to allow null values for attributes.
metadata	attributeDefinitionMetadataEntry collection	Metadata for the given object.
multivalued	Boolean	true if an attribute can have multiple values. Default is false.
mutability	mutability	An attribute's mutability. Possible values are: ReadWrite, ReadOnly, Immutable, WriteOnly. Default is ReadWrite.
name	String	Name of the attribute. Must be unique within the object definition. Not nullable.
required	Boolean	true if attribute is required. Object can not be created if any of the required attributes are missing. If during synchronization, the required attribute has no value, the default value will be used. If default the value was not set, synchronization will record an error.
referencedObjects	referencedObject collection	For attributes with reference type, lists referenced objects (for example, the manager attribute would list User as the referenced object).
type	attributeType	Attribute value type. Possible values are: String, Integer, Reference, Binary, Boolean,DateTime. Default is String.
