wbaer How does profile customization look like from an administrative standpoint? Reading Graph API makes it hard to imagine how exactly that works. I have so many questions.

  1. Are profiles customized per user? Or do you use the Graph API to edit the profile company wide?
  2. In which case I need to ask: How is a sysadmin supposed to edit the profile company wide? The main tool of a sysadmin is still the PowerShell (or the GUI).
  3. If it's company wide, then is it also tool-wide? Profile cards exist in Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Yammer, Delve and so on. What are your plans on that?
  4. How do you add custom properties? Especially in hybrid environments. Azure AD does not have an employeeId or employeeNumber attribute like Active Directory (and I'm wondering about that to this day), yet you used that attribute in your examples, so I'm curious how this will work.
