Admins can create additional custom fields for a user to fill out when creating a new
IBM Aspera Faspex user. Custom fields can be required or optional. You can
view information gathered by these custom fields on the Accounts page
and you can use these fields to sort and filter user accounts. Custom fields are also used to
configure SAML. For more information on SAML, see Working with SAML.

Configure the custom field. The following section describes configuration options for a
custom field:
Configuration Option Description Enabled Select this box to enable or disable the custom field. This will enable or disable both the Name and SAML Name fields. (Fields are enabled by default.) Name Enter the desired name of your custom field into the text box. This field applies to Local users. SAML Name Note: The SAML Name field column applies to SAML users and only appears when SAML is enabled in Faspex.Enter the name of the SAML field found in your IdP.Important: The Faspex SAML Name must be correctly mapped to your SAML fields in IdP. If the names are incorrectly mapped, Faspex will reject the user login. For more information on custom SAML fields, refer to Setting Up Custom SAML Fields.Required Require new users to fill out the field. Unchecking the box makes the field optional. (Fields are required by default.) Note: SAML user login will fail when the field is required but the SAML response does not include the required custom attributes, such as when names are incorrectly mapped.
Click the button to select a
field for deletion. Then click Cancel to cancel deletion or
Save Fields to delete. Note: Deleting a field will permanently delete the custom field and all its data from all existing users.
To view your custom fields, go to
Accounts. Click the Toggle Columns drop-down
and check the box of the field you want displayed.
