Adding Custom UDF on Create User Page

When you create a UDF, it is created only in the back-end, and is not available in the page for use on which you want it to be displayed.

Note:

·        Adding a custom attribute is always in relation to one of the following entities: User, Organization, Role, or Catalog.

·        When catalog UDFs are customized to show in the first page of the Create Role wizard, they are also shown in the summary page of the wizard. But when role UDFs are customized to show in first page of the Create Role wizard, they are not shown in the summary page of the wizard. The summary page must be separately customized for these role UDFs to be displayed.
