Hello,

As we know, in B2C we can have work-account and consumer-account.

in my B2C tenant, if I create two user-accounts from the portal, a work-account and a consumer-account, as you know both are standard users of the tenant with password.
They are not guest users.

So I want to know, how do I find out from the portal OR from the graph-attribute in the user-profile the account type of this user ??

Thanks.

    Hi @testuser7 , thank you for your question. If I understand correctly, you're looking to find the account type? In MS Graph you can use the creationType property for this. Unfortunately you cannot view this in the portal, only with Graph for now.

    If this answer helped you please mark it as "Verified" so other users can reference it.

    Thank you,
    James

    Just one point to confirm.

    the value of "creationType" would be "LocalAccount" when the use is Azure Active Directory B2C tenant user i.e., consumer.

    Would it be always "LocalAccount" no matter how this consumer account created ?
    If the consumer signed up through his Facebook , would creationType still show us "LocalAccount" ??

    I think it should. Just wanted to confirm.

    Thanks.
