Next-level employee directory search for Microsoft 365
OneDirectory gives your team fast, visual people search, powered by your existing Microsoft 365 data. Explore your directory in a whole new way with employee search that connects people, places, teams, roles and skills.
Smarter people search, built for humans
You type "mar" into Microsoft search, trying to find 
Mary. Instead, you get hundreds of poorly ranked results: everyone in Marketing, everyone in the Maryland office, every document mentioning "market research." All you wanted was Mary’s phone number.
OneDirectory fixes this with directory search that shows real people and org data, not a long list of irrelevant results.
It's time we killed "advanced" employee directory search
Advanced search is for power users. With OneDirectory, there's no query building—just fast, intuitive directory and org chart search.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to deploy OneDirectory for Microsoft 365?
You can deploy OneDirectory in under a day for most Microsoft 365 tenants. Setup is fast thanks to our guided assistant and automated Entra ID/Azure AD sync. Some customers take extra time to clean up profile data or configure custom fields, so rollout timelines can vary based on your internal process.
Where is my employee data stored and is it encrypted?
Your employee data is securely stored in Microsoft Azure data centers located in the United States (Central US region by default). For enterprise customers, alternate regions can be selected if needed.
All data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS (SHA-256) and encrypted at rest with 256-bit AES encryption, one of the strongest encryption standards available. Backups are also encrypted and geo-redundant, ensuring data protection even in the event of a disaster.
We only access the profile data needed to provide the OneDirectory service, via secure, read-only Microsoft Graph API permissions, and your organization maintains full control over that access through your Azure portal.
🔒 OneDirectory is actively working toward SOC 2 compliance with Vanta to further enhance its security and compliance posture.
Can employees update their own profiles, and can admins lock certain fields?
Yes. Employees can update their own profiles, and admins have full control over which fields are editable. Each field can be set to either sync with Microsoft 365 or be editable within OneDirectory. Admins can also configure edit permissions by role, ensuring only the right users can update specific fields.
Can I add custom fields?
Yes, you can add custom fields to user profiles in OneDirectory, like “Pronouns,” “Employee ID,” or any other custom attribute, as long as they’re added to Microsoft 365 using directory extensions. OneDirectory can read these extensions via the Microsoft Graph API and display them in the employee directory.
Microsoft also offers custom security attributes, but these require special permissions and are not accessible by default, even to global admins. For now, we support custom fields added through directory extensions only.
🛠️ We’re also working on the ability to create fully custom fields directly in OneDirectory, without needing to add them to Microsoft 365. See what's new at https://news.onedirectory.com
Does OneDirectory include an org chart?
Yes. OneDirectory includes a fully interactive, auto-generated org chart that stays in sync with your Microsoft 365 reporting structure. It lets users explore teams and reporting lines visually, with support for search, zoom, profile previews, multiple layouts, and download/printing.
The org chart updates automatically as your org structure changes, so there’s no manual maintenance required.
Is there a mobile version or Microsoft Teams tab?
Yes, OneDirectory works great on mobile via any modern browser. While we don’t offer a native iOS or Android app, our responsive design ensures a smooth experience on phones and tablets.
You can also add OneDirectory as a tab in Microsoft Teams, but the experience may feel limited due to Teams' layout constraints and our app’s custom UI. We're exploring ways to improve this integration in the future.
Can I embed OneDirectory into our intranet or SharePoint site?
OneDirectory doesn’t embed inside SharePoint, but it complements it, with seamless access and a better user experience. You can link to OneDirectory from your intranet or SharePoint site, and users can launch it with Microsoft single sign-on (SSO) for instant access.
It runs as a full-screen web app, separate from SharePoint’s layout and limitations, just like other Microsoft 365 tools.
Can OneDirectory integrate with HRIS systems like Workday, BambooHR, or ADP?
We don’t offer direct integrations with HRIS systems like Workday, BambooHR, or ADP at this time. However, many customers sync HR data into Microsoft 365, via middleware or custom scripts, which OneDirectory can then display automatically.
If your HRIS supports directory extensions or syncs to Entra ID/Azure AD, your custom fields can show up in OneDirectory with no manual updates.
🛠️ Deeper HRIS integrations are on our roadmap. Let us know which systems matter most to you.
Is OneDirectory built to scale for large enterprises?
Yes. OneDirectory is architected to perform reliably at enterprise scale, supporting directories with 20,000+ users without compromising speed or user experience. Our platform is optimized for high-volume environments and is trusted by large organizations to deliver fast, consistent performance across global teams.
