Adding additional User Defined Attributes (UDF) to the User form - Part II

After we created all of the additional UDFs required on our OIM/Xellerate User form, we thought we were home-free. We created a test user using some of our new fields and the were properly created and the attributes set in the directory as mapped. However we ran into a bit of a head-scratcher. When we went to the modify user form, we could see none of our new attributes.

After fooling around with properties files and verifying settings, we finally figured out that the 'Authorization Policy' that was granting xelsysadm the ability to modify forms did not automatically include all the new attributes. We tried to edit the 'User Management Adminstration Policy' to check the additional attributes as allowed, however it seems you can't edit the built-in policies. So we created a new policy based on this policy and selected all of the new attributes. Problem solved!
