[#1]

Article Number

Applies To

RSA Product Set: Identity Governance & Lifecycle
RSA Version/Condition: 7.0.2
 

Issue

• What are the limits for the number of Custom Date, Integer, String and User Attributes that can be created?
• How many are already allocated to RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle as default attributes?

Task

Review the online help topic Working with RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle > Creating and Managing Attributes for RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle Objects > About Attributes, where it lists the following attribute types:

• The Date data type (CAD1 through CAD5) lets you assign or collect static date values.
• The Integer data type (CAI1 through CAI5) lets you assign or collect static integer values.
• The String data type (CAS1 through CAS20) lets you assign or collect static string values. 
• The User data type (CAU1 through CAU5) lets you assign or collect values that represent a user in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle. 

For each attribute type, some are already allocated and some have more or less available than the numbers suggested in the online help.

Resolution

The following table lists the different types of predefined Custom Attribute data types, what the limits are, and how many are already used.

This information was taken from documentation for RSA identity Governance & Lifecycle version 7.0.2.

If more pre-defined Custom Attribute data types are needed for your implementation of RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle, please engage RSA Professional Services, so that they may review your requirements and suggest alternatives.

Abbreviation definitions:

• CAD - Custom Attribute (of data type) Date.
• CAI - Custom Attribute (of data type) Integer.
• CAS - Custom Attribute (of data type) String.
