How to add or remove employees from an office

Assign or remove people from an office by setting the Office field — in Microsoft 365 if synced, or in the Directory Console if editable in OneDirectory.

Written by Greg Bennett

You assign or remove an employee from an office by setting the Office field on their profile. Each person belongs to one office at a time, so selecting a new office automatically removes them from their previous one. How you do it depends on the field’s data source.


If Office is synced with Microsoft 365 / Entra ID

Set or change the office on the employee’s profile in Entra ID or Microsoft 365. The change syncs to OneDirectory on the next sync.


If Office is editable in OneDirectory

  1. In your live directory, click Edit in Console in the top bar, next to your profile picture.

  2. In the Directory Console sidebar, select People.

  3. Click the employee’s row. A panel opens on the right, on the Profile Details tab.

  4. Click the Value next to the Office field.

  5. Select a new office to move them there, or clear the field to remove them.

  6. Click the green check to save the change, or the red X to discard it.

Note: Not sure which applies? Check the field’s data source in the Directory Console under Fields — see Making a field editable.
