Scenario and Objectives
Scenario:
CIO says that we must now start tracking employee social media handles and URLs. The CIO wants the users to maintain their own information (including PII). AD team says no way to bi-directional synchronization with the UPS. HR already has a database with staff information.
Objectives: Give the CIO a database with all of the employee social and
HR information. Give the end-user the ability to securely see and update only
their information. Have the end-user information available on SharePoint for
others to see and use.
Let’s get started!

Conclusion
Having the ability to distribute social information is very important, but having the ability for a user to modify their information without having to send an email to the AD Team is crucial to keep data updated and reliable. By following the steps that we reviewed, we can keep staff up to date with their social information and keep the OCIO happy. We can now view all user social information, and have it synchronized with the User Profile Service!
