Find out for which departments a user is manager.

Some systems (EduMS for example) require you to provide a list of departments for which a user is manager. While some systems work the other way.
Currently, there's no good way to do this in HelloID.
A solution would be to have a list/array on the persons which contains all the departments for which a user is manager. This data is already available to HelloID as it knows all departments and their manager.

Hello Robin F! I have a few more questions for you:
- Can you provide more details on how you envision the list/array of departments being accessed or utilized within HelloID?
- Are there specific systems or processes where this feature would be particularly beneficial?
- Would you find it useful to have additional features related to department management in HelloID, beyond the list/array of departments a user manages?

Rick van den Dijssel; 1: In the Target Systems it would be great if we can access this list just like we can access givenName; and department. Maybe something like managerOfDepartments -> ["Finance", "IT"]; Or a more detailed list with both names and codes of departments.
2: EduMS as stated in the opening post is the only application we currently have in our HelloID environment where this is useful; But of course other customers could have different systems.
3: I think there's much more we can do in HelloID with departments, but at the moment this is the most important. This item shows most of the other features already: https://helloid.canny.io/provisioning/p/department-raw-data-view
