Enable an attribute to participate in a request

By default, an additional user attribute does not participate in a request and is not displayed on the request page. Use the XML to enable an additional user attribute to participate in a request.

additionaluserattributes.xml

Setting Description
XML file name and path [InstallPath]\Settings\AdditionalUserAttributes_PSFTFI.xml or AdditionalUserAttributes_PSFTHR.xml
Tag <additionaluserattributes>
Node <attribute appattributename="USERIDALIAS" displayname="##AddAttribute_UserIDAlias##" status="OFF">

<bapiattributename>USERIDALIAS</bapiattributename>

This is an example to enable the USER ID ALIAS attribute. You can configure this setting for each attribute.

Configuration setting Set the attribute status to:
  • ON: The attribute participates in the request and is displayed on the request page.
  • OFF: The attribute does not participate in the request and is not displayed on the page.
Default The default value is OFF.
Note: If you enable the additional attribute Email through the above xml file, you must make these changes in the ERP for successful write back in the ERP as well as in IRC:
  • Select the check box Primary Email Account for Role Assignment Management, User Re-provisioning and User Creation type of requests.
  • Select the Email Type as Business for Role Assignment Management and User Re-provisioning type of requests. For the User Creation type of request, the Email Type is already set to Business.

If the above changes are not made in the ERP, write back is implemented only in IRC and not in the ERP.
