Custom attributes

Signicat IAM (SIAM) stores user and organisation attributes like name, email or address. An attribute can have one of the following categories:

  • User: Apply to user profiles, like name and contact.
  • Organisation: Apply to companies, like branch offices and business address.
  • Membership: Apply to user attributes in the context of an organisation, like business email or phone number.

SIAM provides a default list of native attributes to address the most common scenarios. In addition to the native attributes, you can add your own custom attributes.

Attributes page

To manage your SIAM attributes, go to Attributes on the left menu of your SIAM platform.
