Assigning User Attributes

Assigning User Attributes

Some partner applications require user attributes, such as the user ID, to link the user to the application. When users are provisioned into IAM, the attributes that link the user to the partner application are assigned to the account.

User-level attributes can be overridden on the user account, which is useful to correct any user-level information that may be added incorrectly during provisioning, or to add user-level attributes if adding the user on the Users page.

You must enter the user-level attributes for users that need access to Dayforce HR/Payroll Latitude (HPL), or Dayforce Dayforce Workforce Management (IWFM). These user-level attribute names default into the user account. You can enter the attribute value in the Value field to override the default value.

Important: These are different attributes than the role attributes that must be assigned for some partner applications. The role attributes are described in the next section.

To assign user attributes

1. Click the Users button on the Home page.
2. On the Users page, select the user account you want to work with in the panel on the left side of the page.
3. In the User Attributes section, any attributes that can be overridden are in a text box in the Value column. Click in the text box of the attribute value you want to override.
4. Enter the new attribute value.
5. Click Save.
