What attributes can Directory manage?
LiveTiles Directory is offered in two varieties depending on your Active Directory landscape and needs: Hybrid, or Online.
These are the attributes that Directory can manage by default on a fresh installation for each implementation type:

Directory Extensibility in Managing Attributes
Directory Hybrid
The Directory Hybrid configuration is the most flexible deployment of Directory. It can leverage both on-premises AD extended schema attributes as well as connected sources with custom attributes such as SharePoint Online User Profiles via the Office 365 connector.
Directory Online
Directory Online configurations are limited to what the Microsoft Graph API can expose for management. This is currently limited to the default attributes that Directory manages out-of-the-box. As Microsoft makes more attributes available through the Graph, Directory Online will be updated to support them.
