Supported attributes reference

The following table lists common attributes that can be mapped for user provisioning. The Salesforce Connector dynamically retrieves custom attributes that you configure in the Salesforce console.

You can find a more complete list of Salesforce attributes in the Salesforce Users documentation.

Attribute Description

Username

The user’s username and Salesforce login.

This value must be in the format of an email.

Community Nickname

The user’s nickname used in Salesforce Communities.

Must be 40 characters or fewer.

This must be unique in your Salesforce organization. Consider matching the username attribute.

Alias

The user’s short name used on list pages, reports, and other pages where the entire name doesn’t fit.

Must be eight characters or fewer.

If the attribute value exceeds eight characters, you can use an OGNL expression to truncate the value. The following code example shows where sAMAccountName is truncated to eight characters:

#result=#this.get("sAMAccountName").toString(),
#result.length() > 8 ? #result.substring(0,8):#result
