Use attribute-level restore to restore one or more attributes from a backed-up object without restoring the full object. This helps when a user, group, or other supported object has one or more incorrect values that you want to roll back without changing the rest of the object.
Considerations
-
The target object must already exist in Microsoft Entra ID.
-
Attribute-level restore restores only the selected attributes and does not recreate deleted objects.
-
Some Microsoft Entra ID attributes are read-only and cannot be restored.
-
Unsupported or filtered attributes might be skipped during restore.
