Custom Security Attributes

Custom security attributes in Microsoft Entra ID are business-specific attributes (key-value pairs) that you can define and assign to Microsoft Entra objects. These attributes can be used to store information, categorize objects, or enforce fine-grained access control over specific Azure resources.


This is the companion discussion topic for the documentation at https://documentation.sailpoint.com/connectors/microsoft/entra_id/help/integrating_entra_id/custom_security_groups.html

In one part of the document, the format is stated as:

customSecurityAttributes _< Attribute set name>_< Attribute name >

Notice the single space before the underscore, and randomly around the able brackets.

In another part of the document, the format is stated as:

customSecurityAttributes _ Engineering _ Project ( Data Type – String , isMulti - True)

Notice the different arrangement of spaces and the inclusion of additional data.

What is the correct format?
