Extended Attributes

Use the Edit Extended Attribute page to create and edit additional role attributes including the display name, attribute type and description.

The Edit Extended Attribute page contains the following information:

Attribute Name

The name of the attribute as it appears in the application.

Important: Extended attributes must use unique attribute names that will not be duplicated in other parts of your IdentityIQ environment. For example, an extended attribute name must not duplicate any attribute names in any of your application schema(s). A best practice is to use a standard prefix or naming convention that ensures that your extended attribute names are unique.

Caution: Changing an attribute name might cause attributes that were previously aggregated to no longer be recognized.

Display Name

The name for use throughout the product.

Type

The attribute type to be linked, for example string, Boolean, date, rule, or identity.
