      Problem Definition

      It is now possible to sync attributes such as nickname and location via SCIM: https://support.atlassian.com/provisioning-users/docs/sync-user-attributes-to-your-organization

      In the case of SCIM, it is possible to configure custom mappings, but in the case of Azure AD sync it is not

      Suggested Solution

      Provide support for the nickname and location(basedIn) attributes for Azure AD sync

      Why this is important

      Syncing additional attributes will help admins better manage their users

            h3. Workaround
            * Change to SCIM provisioning: [Switch from Azure AD for nested groups to SCIM|http://support.atlassian.com/provisioning-users/docs/switch-from-azure-ad-for-nested-groups-to-scim](nested group syncing not supported via SCIM) *OR*
            * Use the API: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/admin/user-management/rest/api-group-profile/#api-users-account-id-manage-profile-patch to update the "location" value - as of *July 2025*, user attributes can be updated via API even if the end user's Atlassian account is locked in the UI due to provisioning sync
