Configure User Attributes

User Attributes are used in Help Desk operations to filter user search results. You can add and remove the attributes as search criteria.

The attributes are mapped to the attributes in the selected User Repository.

You can create additional user attributes using the ActivID Management Console, which you then map to your repository attributes.

  • Address Line 1

  • Address Line 4
  • City
  • Date of Birth
  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Last Success Auth
  • Post code
  • Title
  • User Type
  • Type of system
  • E-Mail Address
  • Mobile Phone Number
  • Application Topic Identifier
  • OPENID Applications claims
