User Defined Attributes

Every object may contain a set of user defined attributes.
Attribute Name should NOT contain whitespace, dash and special characters, but may contain underscore. Attribute Name is case sensitive.
Attribute can be a basic data type, an object or a collection. An attribute can be referenced in the format of "objectName.attributeName". Following are some examples:

• user.id user's ID
• user.domain.id user's domain ID
• role.scopes.domain.id an array of role's domain ID
• policy.options an array of policy options

Attribute Properties

Available attribute types:
STRING, TEXT, BINARY, BOOLEAN, INTEGER, LONG, DOUBLE, FLOAT, DATE, ENUM, PASSWORD, EMAIL, TELEPHONE, URL, OBJECT, COLLECTION
Notes:

1. An attribute must belong to an object. Therefore, every Attribute API must specify the Object's Name.
2. Intrinsic attributes cannot be deleted.
