New idea from Oliver, 12/14/16

Get data from Quest tool, within a NetID's Advance Properties:

So:

Find NetID within Quest's Name field (Find: Users, etc.) and then right-click to get Advanced properties.

Select "Select all possible attributes". For any attribute, you can double-click to open, making cut-and-pastes easier.

Interesting ones include:

  • cornelledu (this brings up some interesting ones which are below)
  • extension (this brings up some interesting ones which are below)
  • cornelleduEntitlementsOptin
  • cornelleduMailDelivery
  • cornelleduaffiliation (useful to see if person was a "former postdoc", regardless of current affiliation)
  • extensionAttribute1 (for some, it's "notproxy.mail.cornell.edu")
  • extensionAttribute5 (useful, at least per screenshot example, above)
  • Account Is Disabled (edsaAccountIsDisabled)
  • edsaAccountLockedOut
