Create profileCardProperty

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Create a new profileCardProperty for an organization. The new property is identified by its directoryPropertyName property.

For more information about how to add properties to the profile card for an organization, see Add or remove custom attributes on a profile card using the profile card API.

Note

Profile card properties correspond to attributes in Microsoft Entra ID. Adding an attribute as a profileCardProperty to the profileCardProperties collection for an organization configures profile cards to display the attribute value. Deleting the profileCardProperty from the collection doesn’t delete the attribute from Microsoft Entra ID; it deletes the configuration so that profile cards no longer display the attribute value.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
