Profile and request attributes

Profile and request attributes can play an important role during Bravura Security Fabric processes. A profile and request attribute can define a user object’s parameters and use. In many cases, attributes and attribute values represent different roles and access privileges on target systems. Many organizations determine a user’s system status by the value of some attribute. For example, the value of an attribute of "F" versus "T" may determine whether the user is disabled on a given system or not.

You can also define profile and request attributes to gather extra information about a user. For example, users may enter human resource information such as date of birth, mobile phone provider and number or social security number.

Request-only attributes are used solely in the context of requests, and do not have a permanent effect on user profiles.
