Customizing the User and Organization Types
You can add custom attributes to the User and Organization objects that are installed with CentraSite. Adding custom attributes to these types enables you to include additional metadata about the organizations or users at your site. For example, if the organizations within your enterprise belong to specific affiliates, you might want the Organization object to include an attribute that identifies the affiliate to which an organization belongs.
You can add any number of custom attributes to a User or Organization. The attributes can be of any attribute type. You can also customize the icons that are associated with these types.
When you add custom attributes to a User or Organization type, the attributes appear on the Attributes tab when a user or organization is displayed in CentraSite Control.
