We have Azure AD and have provisioned ServiceNow through the Azure portal. We're in the middle of syncing all our attributes into ServiceNow (so syncing is working), but we can't find a way to import any user's manager, it doesn't seem to be an attribute.
Anyone done this before? Thanks!

Take a look at the transform scripts that come out of the box on the example transform map. Setting the manager is controlled by the scripts, not just a field mapping. Section 9.2 talks about the scripts and 9.3 shows the onStart and onAfter scripts: LDAP Integration Setup - ServiceNow Wiki

Thanks. Unfortunately we don't have LDAP as we're using Azure AD to sync, not the "old" Active Directory

Click on add attribute mapping
Under Source: Azure AD Select
User ; Direct ; manager
Under Target: ServiceNow select
New
Attribute Name: Manager
Type: Reference
Referenced Object Name: sys_user
Referenced Object System ID Attribute: sys_id
Referenced Object matching attribute: user_name
try that. It's working for us. I'm having an issue getting the group manager to sync.

Hi Praveen,
Did you find a way to do group manager mapping?
