Defining assignment attributes for an existing role

When modifying an existing role, you can optionally define assignment attributes to be associated with the role.

Before you begin

Depending on how your system administrator customized your system, you might not have access to this task. To obtain access to this task or to have someone complete it for you, contact your system administrator.

You can associate a custom label with an assignment attribute by adding an attribute name prefixed with roleAssignmentAttribute in the customLabels.properties resource bundle. This operation provides the display label for the assignment attribute. For example, roleAssignmentAttribute.creditLimit="Credit Limit Value". The key for the assignment attribute of the same role must be unique.
