Custom Attributes

Custom Attributes may be added for all user entities in your Cymmetri Platform. This allows organizations to add custom user attributes, that are used across the applications in the organization.

For example, your organization has a custom attribute that captures and uses the local language of your employees and vendors for the purpose of providing local services. This attribute may be stored in your Active Directory, and may need to be synchronized to your organization’s other applications during the course of an employee or vendor’s employment.

Cymmetri platform allows the administrator to define custom attributes on a tenant-wide level.

Custom attributes can be used at various places like when creating a user, as a filter when searching for users, and is visible in the others section of user info
