# Configure user display properties

You can control which managed user attributes Identity Governance displays in user details across access request and certification workflows. By default, Identity Governance shows all available attributes. Use the `user.displayProperties` setting in `iga_ui_config`, the Identity Governance UI configuration resource, to restrict the view to a specific set of attributes.

|   | You can't configure user display properties in the Advanced Identity Cloud admin console. You must use the API for this configuration. |

The following table describes the three modals affected by this setting:

| Surface                                | Effect                                                                                                                             |
| -------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Certification task: user details modal | Only the listed properties appear on the User Details tab.                                                                         |
| Certification task: column sort modal  | Identity Governance filters the User column category to the listed properties; you can't add hidden properties as visible columns. |
| Access request: New request user modal | Only the listed properties appear when you open a requester's user details.                                                        |

|   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |

|   | * This is a display-only restriction. Identity Governance retrieves the full user object from Advanced Identity Cloud; the configuration controls only what is visible to reviewers.

* In the following examples, replace \<access-token> with an access token created with the `fr:iga:*` service account scope. Learn more in [Get an access token](../../developer-docs/authenticate-to-rest-api-with-access-token.html). |

To configure user display properties:

1. Get the current `iga_ui_config` to preserve any existing settings:

   ```bash
   curl \
   --request GET \
   --header "Authorization Bearer <access-token>" \
   --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
   "https://<tenant-env-fqdn>/iga/commons/config/iga_ui_config"
   ```

2. Use `PUT iga/commons/config/iga_ui_config` with the full config object, setting `user.displayProperties` to an array of attribute names:

   ```bash
   curl \
   --request PUT \
   --header "Authorization Bearer <access-token>" \
   --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
   --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
   --data '{
     ...
     "user": {
       "displayProperties": ["givenName", "sn", "mail", "userName"]
     }
     ...
   }'
   https://<tenant-env-fqdn>/iga/commons/config/iga_ui_config"
   ```

   The properties appear in the order listed. You can include any attribute from your managed user schema, including custom attributes. Changes take effect immediately on the next page load. To confirm the configuration, open a certification task or access request and verify the user details modal, where only the attributes you listed appear.

## Remove the display restriction

To restore the default behavior and show all attributes, set `displayProperties` to an empty array or omit the key:

```bash
curl \
--request PUT \
--header "Authorization Bearer <access-token>" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--data '{
  "user": {
    "displayProperties": []
  }
}'
"https://[.var]##<tenant-env-fqdn>##/iga/commons/config/iga_ui_config"
```
