As you know, SharePoint Online (SPO) user profile properties can be updated by a SPO / Office 365 Admin in two possible ways:
-
By means of the SPO Admin Center so SPO / Global Admin can edit a specific user profile and manually update its properties.
-
By means of the SPO User Profiles Properties API that can be used in a PS Script or in ._NET Code.
An example of how to update a SPO user profile property with PowerShell can be found in the following URL:
