User properties - Identity tab

Use this tab to view or update the general information for a user and mailbox in a Microsoft Entra ID based identity store.

Display name

The name of the user as it is displayed in the Directory Managerportal.

Username

The login ID of the user.

First name

The first name of the user.

Last name

The last name of the user.

User type

The user type assigned to the user in Microsoft Entra ID, such as Member or Guest.

• Member: This value indicates an employee of the host organization and a user in the organization's payroll. For example, this user expects to have access to internal-only sites. This user would not be considered an external collaborator.
• Guest: This value indicates a user who isn't considered internal to the company, such as an external collaborator, partner, customer, or similar user. Such a user wouldn't be expected to receive a CEO's internal memo, or receive company benefits, for example.

NOTE: The User Type has no link to the user login function, the directory role of the user, and so on. It simply indicates the user's relationship to the host organization and allows the organization to enforce policies that depend on this property.

Object ID

The unique ID assigned to the object in Microsoft Entra ID.

Alias

The email alias of the user.

Email

The email address of the user.

Account is enabled

This check box is selected by default, indicating that the user account is enabled.

Clear it to disable the user account, so that the user cannot log-on with it.

Usage Location

The country where the user is located.

The usage location is mandatory for a mailbox and displays the object's geographical location. It determines what Office 365 licenses and associated features can be assigned to a mailbox based on geographic availability and laws.

Photo

The user's photo.

Click the Edit icon to launch the Manage Photo dialog box for uploading a photo. The dialog box also provides many image editing options, including rotate, crop, flip, and re-size.
