Custom Attribute Sets
The Custom Attribute Sets feature allows an administrator to add new attributes to a user whom an administrator can access in an enterprise app through a query. Using a custom attribute set, an app developer can customize the experience of an app targeted to a user. You can do the following:
- Create Custom Attribute Sets
- Apply custom attribute sets for a user
- Apply custom attribute sets for a group
- Apply custom attribute sets for an app
- Apply custom attribute sets for a device
An administrator can create a new custom attribute set and add custom attributes for an enterprise app, specifically targeted to a user, a group, an app, and a device.
Note: There are no restrictions on custom attribute set name or attributes. A custom attribute set can be empty and repeated. As custom attribute sets are defined by an app developer, the app developer must take care of names and values.
