Customizing Schemas

Learn how to add, edit, or remove custom schema attributes and change user permissions for out-of-the-box (base) schema attributes.

If you're creating your own user interface for IAM and you don't find a schema attribute that you need from the list of base schema attributes, create one and extend it to the existing schema.

Required Policy or Role

To customize schemas, you must have one of the following access grants:
  • Be a member of the Administrators group
  • Be granted the Identity Domain Administrator role or the Security Administrator role
  • Be a member of a group granted manage domains

To understand more about policies and roles, see The Administrators Group, Policy, and Administrator Roles, Understanding Administrator Roles, and IAM Policies Overview.
