Updating Entra B2B Guest Accounts

Identity Security Cloud (ISC) ISC Discussion and Questions

Hi All

The ISC Entra Connector states, as a supported feature, that B2B Guest Accounts can be created AND updated (Account Management for User, User in Federated Domain, Guest User (B2B), and External Member (B2B))

I’m wondering what the best practice is for updating Guest accounts that have been created by ISC?

I ask, because the Create Profile for B2B Guest Accounts uses the Invitation API and so can’t be used for Attribute Sync of standard Entra User attributes.

Anyone been able to make this work? Does it need 2 connectors, one for creation one for update?

Can you share why this blocks it? In our implementation we are able to use attribute sync perfectly fine. Now you can’t set all the attributes at invitation time, so we have a trimmed down Create Profile, and then push all changes via attribute sync. Note you will have to set the attribute sync mappings via API since they won’t match the mappings in the create profile. But this definitely does work.

Thanks @adunker!

That sounds perfect. Got to be honest, haven’t tried setting attribute sync mappings via API before.

Will test and let you know.
