create an externalID

Posted on by 160

Hi,

I'd like to know how to insert the externalID in a user that doesn't have it:

Is it possible to insert it, after a user is created? And why some users have it while others don't?

    Hi.

    I don't think the "ExternalId" field has any practical impact anywhere in the system.

    While I am not entirely sure, it seems like the field is populated if a user is imported through the AAD and has been invited to that AAD as a guest. When the user logs on to the environment the field populates.

    Hi user9,

    why would you want to insert it? Do you have some business requirement related to this field?

    I think that this field is populated automatically when the user logs in for the first time. Not 100% sure but at least looking at the users in my system it seems like that.
