Introduction
All used attributes can be found here. The properties of a specific attribute, such as the data type, a short description, the usage type, etc. can be viewed. New attributes are configured like resources or roles, using drop-down lists. Below is a brief description of some selected configuration options:
- Datatype: Here you can choose from a variety of data types. These include String, Html, Date, Asset, etc.
- Required Field:
not mandatory: no entry is required
mandatory with warning: The user can continue the process with the warning that the information must be supplied.
mandatory with error: The process cannot continue without the entry. - Attribute Usage Type: describes what the attribute is used for. For example, the attribute FirstName has the usage type CoreIdentity Attribute. Since a CoreIdentity is always assigned a first name.
- Validator Regex: A validation rule for the attribute is generated with the help of regular expressions (regex). This means that a desired structure is mandatorily specified for the attribute. For example, if the attribute is a password, the regex can be used to specify that the password must contain a number x of special characters and at least one uppercase letter, etc. The regex can also be used to generate a validation rule for the attribute.
In addition to the standard attributes, very specific attributes can also be recorded and assigned to the corresponding locations, whether resources, roles, OU, CoreIdentities, etc.
