I have noticed that when we provision a user in the Office 365 Admin portal, a user is provisioned in Azure AD for our tenant. When this user is provisioned, only the most basic information is synchronized, like user, password, and group membership. Is there a way to have the users physical address synchronize as well?

Hi @Russ Burden
Azure AD is the Identity Service used by all Microsoft 365 services.
If you create a user from the O365 portal, it's actually created in Azure AD.
Like when you create a user in Exchange on-prem, it's actually created in the local AD.
That being said, if you fill in the address information in O365, it should also show up in AAD.
I just tested and this works for me.
What attributes don't you see in AAD?

@Thijs Lecomte What I have is, for instance, address. If I create a user with no address, but update it later, the update is not synchronized to the AAD object. I have several users that have addresses in o365 Admin that are not populated in AAD.

@Thijs Lecomte These are cloud only accounts created in o365 admin. Does it sync the reverse, from AAD to 365?

They should always be in sync (there might a delay of a few minutes though).
Can you create a test user and test if you create if without address and then update the address that it doesn't sync?

Hello@Russ Burden !
Office365 and Azure AD should always be in sync, if its cloud only users. However there might be a delay sometimes.
Try and edit a users street, department or other information and wait to see if it syncs :)
You could also check the users information in Delve to see if it synced there.
Kind Regards
