Create Custom User Attributes

JumpCloud's Custom Attributes enable you to create and store additional data about your users, beyond the standard attributes available for every user. Custom attributes are extensible through the API and can be used with the Workday Directory integration and SAML Single Sign On (SSO).  Custom Attributes currently aren’t supported for LDAP or RADIUS. 

• See Integrate with Workday to learn more.
