#Configure Dynamic Metadata Profiles

Dynamic metadata profiles allow you to predefine associations between multiple metadata based on their organization policy. These pre-defined metadata branches are then used by the Change metadata service, enabling business users to select appropriate values and maintain consistency across different workflows.

Dynamic metadata profiles can be applied to the following object types requiring metadata management: site collections, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 Groups, distribution groups, mail-enabled security groups, security groups, shared mailboxes, Viva Engage communities, room mailboxes, equipment boxes, guest users, Microsoft 365 users, Power Apps, Power Automate flows, Power Bi workspaces, and environments.

To access Dynamic metadata profiles, click the Dynamic metadata profiles card on the Profiles & templates page.

To create a dynamic metadata profile, click Create on the ribbon to open the Create dynamic metadata profile panel and configure the following settings:

1. Profile name – Enter a name for the dynamic metadata profile.

2. Description – Enter a description for the dynamic metadata profile.

3. Configure dynamic metadata – Add metadata and configure the conditions or branches for metadata. Click Configure metadata, select a metadata to add, then complete the following settings:
