Description

We are using the Graph Data Connect to extract Azure AD information for all users in our tenant (using Azure Data Factory). The extractions works as expected but there are fields that don't seem to be available in the standard schemas (e.g. Employee ID or schema extensions).

What's the best approach to get these fields? Should we then use the API to get these values for each user?
Is there a better, more efficient, approach?

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Graph Data Connect standard schemas and the Azure Data Factory extraction described in the issue, then compare them with the API approach for per-user values. Done would be a documented, supported approach for retrieving Employee ID and schema extensions, including whether a more efficient alternative exists.
