In some cases, external services need to use employees’ identities - especially profile pictures. There is probably no more central place than Entra ID to acquire profile pictures.
Example: We are setting up an external, premade solution that lacks out-of-the-box integration with identity providers. And along with metadata, we may also want to transfer profile pictures into our solution.
Luckily, most organizations have an identity store that we can utilize. In our case, we can use Office 365 with its Entra ID. With these tools, we can easily access the necessary data to build our feature.
