PowerApps and Azure Active Directory Attributes (including extension attributes)

[DavidVanSickle]

Not all the Azure AD attributes can be used in PowerApps. The O365 Users connector is limited in what it surfaces.  This is a real impediment to developing custom apps in SharePoint Online.  Currently, I can add additional (extension attributes) properties to the User Profile Service using the PnP solution, and with InfoPath retrieve extension attributes to populate a form. However, if the direction by Microsoft is to replace InfoPath with PowerApps, then it's critical to provide an avenue to inspect all the same AD properties I can access in an on-prem environment.  The properties exist in Azure AD, why is there a limitation as to which ones can be queried?  Why should companies be forced to consider evaluating the added costs of monthly subscritions to third-party connectors when the data is already there? At least allow the O365 connector to surface all extension attributes as well as ALL commonly used properties, NOT a subset. Or, allow a simplified way for someone to inherit from the O365 Connector and build their own to include the additional AD attributes they need included. I couldn't find an example of a custom connector that was created to expose AD extension attributes for consumption by PowerApps / Flow. Any alternate suggestions are welcome.

A cross post on the graph api addresses the same issue.

Indeed! This is a real problem for me also, working on a PowerApps solution for a customer. Thanks for posting!

We have an option using HTTP request but to do so, we need to pay a P1 for all users! 😞

We need a free solution from Microsoft especially because all the customers that have custom extention attributes are already paying for a AAD P2... So why paying again a P1 to use them in PowerApps and Flow?!

Even from the Public Sector this feature would be invaluable to fully use a single source of information for Hybrid clients. We already can do Dynamic Groups using these, we should be able to refrence them in PowerApp's as well.
