Assign a String Attribute

  2. Click New User. The Create User page displays.
  3. Complete all required fields.

  6. Click Create. The value is added to the attribute, and the attribute is assigned to the user.

  2. Locate the user you want to edit.
  3. In the Actions column, click More actions button, three vertical dots > the Edit button, a pencil. The Edit User page displays.
