IdentityReference

Describes a reference to an identity.

Name	Type	Description
_links	ReferenceLinks	This field contains zero or more interesting links about the graph subject. These links may be invoked to obtain additional relationships or more detailed information about this graph subject.
descriptor	string	The descriptor is the primary way to reference the graph subject while the system is running. This field will uniquely identify the same graph subject across both Accounts and Organizations.
directoryAlias	string	Deprecated - Can be retrieved by querying the Graph user referenced in the "self" entry of the IdentityRef "_links" dictionary
displayName	string	This is the non-unique display name of the graph subject. To change this field, you must alter its value in the source provider.
