In Crowd, users are referred to as principal entity objects (or just principals).

A principal's default attributes are specific to the directory to which the principal belongs. You can add other attributes (e.g. address, phone number, date of birth) manually as required.


To edit a principal's attributes,

  1. Login to the Crowd Administration Console.
  2. Click the 'Principals' link in the top navigation bar.
  3. This will display the Principal Browser. Select the relevant directory, locate the principal in which you are interested, then click the 'View' link corresponding to the principal.
  4. This will display the 'Principal Details' screen. Click the 'Attributes' tab.
  • To add a new attribute,
    1. Type the name of the new attribute (e.g. phone) in the 'Attribute' field at the bottom of the screen.
    2. Type the value of the new attribute (e.g. 0123456789) in the 'Value' field at the bottom of the screen.
    3. Click the 'Add' button.
  • To edit an existing attribute, edit the corresponding field in the 'Values' column, then click the 'Update' button.
  • To delete an attribute, click the corresponding 'Remove' link in the 'Action' column.

(info) Note that some attributes may correspond to particular fields on the Principal Details screen. However, attributes are optional, whereas the 'Details' fields are all required.
