Include Department on user import
I'm working on importing users via CSV due to severe limitations on Azure AD sync (https://atera.uservoice.com/forums/936306-ideas-and-feedback/suggestions/47085382-azure-ad-group-sync-query-group-name-to-get-aroun).
The CSV import works great - thank you for providing us with this option! However - can we please get the ability to also import the Department field?
The response I got from Atera Support was this:
"
At this moment, there is no option to add a Department when uploading a list of contacts.
As there no API call that can update the relationship between a Contact and a Department, I am afraid the only option to update this information is to do so manually.
"
We have a modest-sized company and will have to manually assign departments to 325 users we are importing. This is not what "10x efficiency for I.T. teams" looks like, in my opinion.

Adding my two cents here. Setting up dynamic groups in Entra is imperative with very large tenants. Users get terminated and hired frequently and having to manually enter user information into our IT support system seems counter intuitive. I don't need another system to manually manage users and their basic employment information in.
I know smaller businesses don't mind this because there is rarely turn over or mass employment changes, but large corps. do this often.
Please make this a priority for your larger clients.

Fully agree with this one.
There are many actions that require per department filtering and not having it feeded from Azure is a problem.
