You can use Employee ID to store badge numbers for cross reference to physical access systems. &nbsp;You can use Company to identify users who are vendors and Employee Type to identify contractors. You can even use the flexible Description to add notes about users, and many more use cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once stored in JumpCloud, these attributes will propagate to the user\u2019s record within JumpCloud\u2019s LDAP service, allowing other resources to pull and leverage that information directly from LDAP or JumpCloud\u2019s RESTful API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><th>JUMPCLOUD<\/th><th>LDAP<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Job Title<\/td><td>title<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Department<\/td><td>departmentNumber<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cost Center<\/td><td>businessCategory<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Location<\/td><td>physicalDeliveryOfficeName<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Employee ID<\/td><td>employeeNumber<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Employee Type<\/td><td>employeeType<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Company<\/td><td>company<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Middle Name<\/td><td>initials<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Display Name<\/td><td>displayName<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Description<\/td><td>description<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With this rich directory of user data available to LDAP consumers, you can improve your workflow and provide more value to your users. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an example, now your PBX system displaying department and title information about callers will make it easier for your users to decide whether to answer or let the call go to voicemail. &nbsp;Now, your ticketing application can import Display Name for use as a preferred name, so that your users know your support engineer as Phil, which he prefers, instead of his legal name of Philip\u00e9, which only his grandmother calls him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, with these new attributes, your authoritative JumpCloud directory is a more powerful and useful place to to build and manage user profiles, allowing you to better centralize their definition in your organization, and use that information where you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get started, you can read more about this update in our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/support.jumpcloud.com\/s\/article\/user-attributes-2019-08-21-10-36-47\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Knowledge Base<\/a>, learn how to populate these attributes using the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.jumpcloud.com\/api\/index.html\">JumpCloud RESTful API<\/a>\u00a0for the systemuser object, and keep on the lookout for a continued series of features related to this exciting new implementation.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JumpCloud Directory-as-a-Service admins can now extend their users&#8217; attributes out to their LDAP applications.
