Administrators can use user attributes 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; but if you need more than eight, you can configure user attribute extensions.
The eight standard user attributes are named User Attribute 1 through User Attribute 8. You can define any number of values for each attribute. Attribute values must have a unique code and a name.
To configure user attributes, your system role must have unrestricted access to the User Attributes Configuration feature in System Roles (Manage Features > User Manager Features).
User attributes must be enabled in System Configuration in order to use them anywhere in the LMS. Each user attribute can be enabled separately. An additional System Configuration setting (for each attribute) specifies whether you select a value name from a drop-down list, or enter the value code when specifying a value for a user attribute.
Each user attribute can have its own access permissions. You can assign values to user attributes that you have read-only permission for when you create or edit user accounts.
You can configure user attributes in the Manage Center, or import them via the User Data Loader.
To configure values for user attributes in the Manage Center, go to Manage Center > Users > User Attribute Configuration.
