How to set up Customise Attribute Mappings in Azure AD Entra ID (SCIM Custom Attributes)

This knowledge article will guide you through the process of setting up your own Custom Attributes within Azure AD (also known as Entra ID) to synchronise them with the MetaCompliance Portal for reporting purposes.  

Available Attributes for Reporting in MyCompliance

There is a set number of AAD (Entra ID) attributes that can be added to the reporting in MyCompliance. These include:

  • Country
  • Locality
  • Postal Code
  • Region
  • Street Address

If you wish to customise an attribute to be visible in MetaCompliance reporting, you must map it to one of the attributes listed above within the MyCompliance User Provisioning application.

  • Source attribute: The user attribute from the source system (example: Microsoft Entra ID).
  • Target attribute: The user attribute in the target system (example: MetaCompliance). 

Note: Custom Entra ID mappings for SCIM users will appear only under reporting and will not be be visible on the User Profile page.  

Instructions

  1. Navigate to your Entra ID Tenant > locate Enterprise Apps > search for the MetaCompliance User Provisioning app and open it.  
  2. On the left-hand menu, select Provisioning, and then click Edit Attribute Mappings.
  3. Expand Mappings and select Provision Entra ID Users.

    Note you must choose one of the following: 
    Country: addresses[type eq "work"].country
    Locality: addresses[type eq "work"].locality
    Postal Code: addresses[type eq "work"].postalCode
    Region: addresses[type eq "work"].region
    Street Address: addresses[type eq "work"].streetAddress

    Example: Here, we will to add 'Country' as the custom attribute for our reporting: 

    - The source attribute (on Entra ID) would be: country
    - The target attribute (MetaCompliance) would be: addresses[type eq "work"].country
     

  4. Navigate to the relevant attribute in attribute mapping, then click Edit.

    If the desired attribute from Entra ID is not visible, click on Add new attribute
