Bulk Update User Profile and Contact Information in Microsoft 365

In Microsoft 365, company profiles and contact information attributes often require changes for users within any organization. Administrators are frequently tasked to modify user profiles and their associated settings, such as Job title, Department, Address, Phone number, and more. Managing these updates for multiple users in bulk can be a time-consuming task for administrators.

Specmasoft’s Office 365 Manager is a desktop application designed for Microsoft 365 user management. It helps the modification of organization profile details for both individual and multiple users. This tool offers a range of user reports to assist in identifying users requiring profile updates. Also, it allows you to either choose users from a report grid or import users from a CSV file to simplify the profile update process.

Steps to Modify User Profile Data for Multiple Users in Microsoft 365

Follow the steps below to update the organization profile and contact details for multiple users in Azure AD.

  • Open the UI console of the Office 365 Manager application.
  • Go to the Azure AD page, which is the default page when you open the application.
  • In the Office 365 Users tab, within the Reports section, select the report that matches your needs, such as Users based on Job Title, Users based on Department, or any other user report that includes the users for whom you wish to manage profile information.
  • Select the required users from the report grid. If you plan to select users from a CSV file, you can skip this step.
  • In the Update Users section, click the Profile button to open the Update User Profile action UI.
  • If you haven’t selected any users from the report grid, the application will prompt you to pick users using one of two options: Search and Select Users or Import Users From CSV.
  • In the action UI, enter the values for the profile attributes you wish to update. Leave the other fields empty if you do not want to make any changes.
  • Click the Update button to start the user update process.

Bulk Update User Profile information in Microsoft 365 using a CSV file

The steps outlined above streamline the process of changing the same profile attribute value for multiple users. If you require different profile attribute values for each user individually, you can achieve this by supplying user details and their corresponding new attribute values via a CSV file.
