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.
To manage your SIAM attributes, go to Attributes on the left menu of your SIAM platform.
Creating attributes
To customise the profiles of your users and organisation in your SIAM platform, you can define your own attributes. You can create a custom attribute by doing the following:
- Log in to your SIAM platform.
- Navigate to the Attributes page by using the left-hand menu.
- Click + Create attribute at the top right.
- In the "Create attribute" page, configure the fields according to the Attribute specifications table.
- Click Create to create the attribute.
After creating a new attribute, you find it displayed in the Attributes section.
When you create an attribute and set it to required, the attribute is automatically added to existing user or organisation profiles.
Attribute specifications
Make sure to use unique attribute names for your custom attributes.
