Can I use Azure AD "businessPhones" in a URL parameter? - url

Question

I am able to use a number of Azure AD profile entity fields in a URL parameter for parsing the logged in user's profile data into a form on our intranet for pre-fill or the like.
For example, ...URL?officelocation=(user.apiProfile.officeLocation)&fullname=(user.fullName)&email=(user.email)&jobtitle=(user.apiProfile.jobTitle).
All of these fields are single string data types according to https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users/$entity.
I'd like to know if it's possible to use the first or second value of a collection of strings as a parameter in the URL. And if so, how?
Take the "businessPhones" field for example. I've tried using &userphone=(user.businessPhones[0]) or other formations but am unable to return the field data.
On a page of our intranet which uses Azure AD as the Identity Provider via SAML 2.0 and uses the Microsoft Graph API, I am able to surface almost any user profile data dynamically on the page as content - including those fields which are in an array (or collection of strings), using the below script and html snippet as example.
<p>First name + Last name: <span id="user-firstname" style="font-weight:600;"></span> <span id="user-lastname" style="font-weight:600;"></span></p>
<p>Full name: <span id="user-fullname" style="font-weight:600;"></span></p>
<p>Email address: <span id="user-email" style="font-weight:600;"></span></p>
<p>Job title: <span id="user-jobtitle" style="font-weight:600;"></span></p>
<p>Office Phone: <span id="user-officephone" style="font-weight:600;"></span></p>
<p>Firm Name: <span id="user-firm" style="font-weight:600;"></span></p>
<p>Firm Address: <!--<span id="user-streetaddress" style="font-weight:600;"></span> <span id="user-city" style="font-weight:600;"></span>, <span id="user-postcode" style="font-weight:600;"></span>, --><span id="user-state" style="font-weight:600;"></span></p>
<p>UID: <span id="user-id" style="font-weight:600;"></span></p>
<p>Embedded Page: <span id="text-url" style="font-weight:600;"></span></p>
<script>
$('#user-firstname').html(CONNECTED_USER.firstName);
$('#user-lastname').html(CONNECTED_USER.lastName);
$('#user-fullname').html(CONNECTED_USER.fullName);
$('#user-email').html(CONNECTED_USER.email);
$('#user-jobtitle').html(CONNECTED_USER.apiProfile.jobTitle);
$('#user-officephone').html(CONNECTED_USER.apiProfile.phones[1].value);
$('#user-firm').html(CONNECTED_USER.apiProfile.officeLocation);
/*$('#user-streetaddress').html(CONNECTED_USER.apiProfile.streetAddress);*/
/*$('#user-city').html(CONNECTED_USER.apiProfile.city);*/
/*$('#user-postcode').html(CONNECTED_USER.apiProfile.postalCode);*/
$('#user-state').html(CONNECTED_USER.apiProfile.organizations[0].stateLocation);
$('#user-id').html(CONNECTED_USER.id);
$('#user-url').html(CONNECTED_USER.url);
$('#current-url').attr("href", window.location.href);
$('#text-url').html(window.location.href)
</script>
You can see that I use CONNECTED_USER.apiProfile.phones[1].value and CONNECTED_USER.apiProfile.organizations[0].stateLocation to return the data I wish to show.
Is it possible to do similar with URL parameters?

Answer 1

I think it's based on which language you used for composing the url. For example, in asp.net core, when you got the response from graph api, you can see that the BusinessPhones property is IEnumerable<string>, so you can't use user.businessPhones[0] but BusinessPhones.FirstOrDefault().
And if you compose the url in javascript, it should work when you use user.businessPhones[0], if it doesn't work, you may add console.log(user.businessPhones) to see the data.
By the way if some users has no value for businessPhones property, you may need to consider it.
