4.11 User Profile – Custom Attributes

ZTrust allows administrators to extend the default user profile by adding custom attributes such as Employee ID, Department, or Phone Number.

With the User Profile feature you can:

• Define attributes at the realm level with validation rules.

• Control whether fields are mandatory, optional, or read-only.

• Decide where attributes appear: Admin Console, Self Service Portal, Registration form.

• Ensure data consistency and validation across all users.

Steps to Create Custom Attributes

1. Login to the ZTrust Admin Console.
