Custom Attribute Management

Question

Hello

I am looking fro information on managing custom attributes in Adaxes.

I would like to create two custom attributes:

1. Self Service Enrollment Stauts
2. Object Type

While browsing and viewing columns, there is a built in "Type," however this is not available while looking at individual objects:

Browsing I can see "Type." But I still need a custom attribute for Self-Service enrollment status

And then when viewing an individual object, I would like to be able to have these two values (custom or otherwise) viewable. The "Type" column above is not a slectable attribute for some reason.

Hello,

Type is a column, not a property name. That is why it is only available in lists (reports, objects in an OU, etc.) and not on object view properties. At the same time, there is no such property that will only display a certain type of object. You can use the Object class one, but each object has multiple values in it (e.g. for a user it will be top, person, organizationalPerson, user). If you need to display just a single value (e.g. User for user accounts), it can be done using a custom text attribute (e.g. CustomAttributeText1) populated accordingly. For example, it can be done using a scheduled task like below (you will need a separate task for each type of objects). For details on how to make the property visible on a web interface form, see https://www.adaxes.com/help/CustomizeFormsForUserCreationAndEditing.

Unfortunately, there is no dedicated property holding the current enrollment status of a user for password self-service. You can save the status to a custom Boolean attribute using this script and add the attribute to the user view form.
