Profile Attributes

Profile attributes allow the administrators to add custom user or group attributes to define additional user or group settings. If there is an attribute available in the Active Directory (AD), you can create a custom attribute and map it to the AD attribute.

Note: You must be assigned the role of Administrator to view or modify custom attributes.

To set up profile attributes:

1. Select Tools  Administration Global Settings.
2. In the Global Settings dialog box, select the Security tab.
3. Click Manage Access.
4. In the User and Group Management dialog box:
   • Select the Users tab, and then select Actions  Profile Attributes to set user profile attributes.
   • Select the Groups tab, and then select Actions  Profile Attributes to set group profile attributes.

You can view, add, modify, and delete user or group attributes. You can create a custom attribute and map it to the Active Directory attribute.
