How are your users signing in?  You using JAMF Connect, PSSO, local credentials, AD, etc. ?

 

Also, departments will only work if you have them hard coded in the JAMF database. Otherwise you’ll need to create a department EA that polls from the user attributes to show what’s in your IdP.

Do you have a LDAP server connected to your Pro instance? That’s how we pull in employee information.

I recommend, if you have an LDAP, create extension attributes that are LDAP items.

You can do that with cloud IdPs as well.

Do you have your cloud IdP configured in JAMF pro? Which IdP is it?

I have Entra configured, currently users sign in to the local user accounts with their Entra credentials, synced by Jamf Connect.

And for clarity, do you have and enrollment profile created that forces the user to log in at enrollment to your IdP?  If so, then that itself should flow the user data into the user and location field. If not, I can share a one liner script that you’ll need to have running on your machines periodically to push that informations to JAMF pro. 
 

Just let me know!

Yes, at beginning of enrollment, the machine prompts the user to register for device management using the Entra credentials.

If that’s the case, jamf connect should be grabbing everything and tossing it into those fields as long as your IdP is configured in Jamf Pro properly (mappings are correct, etc.)
