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

Type
