Editing user attributes

You can edit existing user attributes in your environment.

About this task

Core and Standard attributes are system provided attributes. While core attributes cannot be edited or disabled, standard attributes have a limited editing ability. Use the Attributes page to edit an existing user attribute.

Steps

  1. Go to Directory → User Attributes.

  2. Locate the attribute that you want to edit by browsing or searching for it.

    Choose from:

    • Click the More Options (⋮) icon and then click Edit Attribute.

    • Click the attribute that you want to edit, and then click the pencil icon.

  3. Select the configuration options for the attribute:

    • Enforce unique values: Require that attribute values be unique across the environment.

    • Allow multiple values: Allow the attribute to support multiple values:

      • When a multi-valued attribute is mapped as part of an OIDC or OAuth flow, then the claim will be an array of values.

      • When a multi-valued attribute is mapped as part of a SAML flow, then the multi-valued attribute will be a multi-valued SAML attribute in the SAML assertion. See Mapping attributes.

    • No Validation: No validation is needed.

    • Enumerated Values: Allow the attribute to have enumerated values.

    • Regex Validation: Requires that the attribute have a testable expression. Enter the following information to test an expression:

      • Expression: A unique identifier for the attribute.

      • Description: A brief characterization of the attribute.

      • Values: Examples of values that match or do not match the expression.

        After you create an attribute that is multi-valued, you cannot change it to single-valued. Not all attribute properties can be edited in the PingOne console.

  4. Click Save.
