Azure Portal - User attribute for Time Zone

Question

Hello, our Salesforce application has a requirement to include Time Zone for each user. Is there a way to include Time Zone either by a custom attribute or some other way where we can specify time zone per user in the Azure Portal?

Hi @Larry Rios ,

Thank you for your post!

Our Salesforce connector has a default mapping that flows the following constant "America/Los_Angeles" to the Salesforce attribute called TimeZoneSidKey

This mapping could be modified to use a direct mapping to an AAD attribute or you could create an expression using the Switch statement where you could establish a timezone depending on a location: Reference for writing expressions for attribute mappings in Azure Active Directory Application Provisioning

The document includes an example that populates a timezone based on the state attribute:

Expression: Switch([state], "Australia/Sydney", "NSW", "Australia/Sydney","QLD", "Australia/Brisbane", "SA", "Australia/Adelaide")

INPUT (state): "QLD"
OUTPUT: "Australia/Brisbane"

Feel free to reach out if you have further questions!

Thanks, @Marilee Turscak-MSFT , this attribute will update all users. We have staff that works in different time zones. How can we select a time zone per user?
