Super Directory 101: Custom Attributes and Profile Types

Main Takeaways

• Custom attributes let you generate new identity data, like calculating days of employment from a start date.
• These attributes refresh automatically on each sync, ensuring decisions use up-to-date information.
• Profile types group users and surface the right attributes directly in their profiles.
• Using profile types together with custom attributes enables precise, auditable access decisions, such as granting production access only after one year of tenure.
