Administrators can use user attribute extensions to classify users with certain characteristics, which can then be used as filter criteria to select users (for example, when creating a user group, or when reviewing course participants from the Teach menu). There are eight standard user attributes you can configure, subject to enablement in System Configuration; but if you need more than eight, you can configure as many user attribute extensions as required.
The eight standard user attributes are named User Attribute 1 through User Attribute 8, but you can give user attribute extensions any name you want.
To configure user attribute extensions, your system role must have unrestricted access to the User Attributes Configuration feature in System Roles (Manage Features > User Manager Features).
Each user attribute extension can have its own access permissions. You can assign values to user attribute extensions that you have read-only permission for when you create or edit user accounts.
You can configure user attribute extensions in the Manage Center, or import them via the User Data Loader.
To configure values for user attribute extensions in the Manage Center, go to Manage Center > Users > User Attribute Extension.
