Custom user attributes
Custom user attributes allow you to extend the default set of attributes that are associated with user accounts. This is useful when you need to store additional information about users that is not covered by the default attributes. Here's a general guide on how to create and manage custom user attributes:
- WebUI does not restrict or validate the data you enter in the Add Custom text box. Ensure that you add an appropriate custom attribute exactly with the same spelling and format as per your directory service.
- WebUI also supports you to add custom attributes defined in your directory service other than the standard ones defined by Active Directory or Azure Active Directory.

- When you are adding a custom attribute, enter the
Ldap-Display-Name of the attribute. For example, if
you want to add the user attribute "Address", enter
"streetAddress" in the Add Custom text box and click Add.
