Reading user accounts

“

- [Instructor] Now let's talk about the second CRUD Operation. Reading user accounts. When I say reading user accounts, I'm basically talking about reading the attributes and settings associated with user objects. As I've explained previously, hybrid objects have attributes from two environments. It's point of origin Windows Server and those upended in Azure AD for cloud compatibility and readiness. So if you want to read cloud attributes are those synchronized with the object from on-premises, you can do so in Azure AD. But if you want to read attributes that are not by default synchronized to Azure, you will have to do so in Windows Server Active Directory on-premises. On the other hand as you may have guessed, cloud user attributes are only readable in the cloud and have no trace on-premises whatsoever.
