📄️ About the EmpowerID Schema
All objects of any type (such as EmpowerID Persons, user accounts, and groups, etc.) managed by EmpowerID have an entry in a table of the EmpowerID Identity Warehouse that corresponds to the object’s type. Whenever you create a new object in EmpowerID, you are creating a new instance of that object, which adds a new entry for that instance to the appropriate table. The properties or attributes of the object determine the table where these can be inserted.
📄️ Add Attributes to the EmpowerID Schema
If you have an attribute in an external system to which you are connecting EmpowerID that is not defined in the EmpowerID schema, you can add the attribute to the EmpowerID schema and map it to an extension attribute on the appropriate EmpowerID object. This article demonstrates this by adding to the schema a user attribute from Active Directory not defined in EmpowerID. The attribute can then flow from the user account to the linked account and Person in EmpowerID.
