In the administration console, you can configure which user attributes Identity Authentication sends to the service provider or client (relying party) to be displayed on application's registration and upgrade forms.
After the user has filled in the form, the information from these attributes is recorded in the user's profile. This is why these attributes are also called profile attributes and are handled by the profile services.
The user ID attribute cannot be controlled by the user. Because of that it is not included on the registration and upgrade forms, but is available in the user's profile.
To configure the profile attributes, you need to specify which personal, company, and contact information the application prompts the user to provide when registering or upgrading. The information that the user has to provide depends on the status of the attribute (required or optional). You configure which attributes are displayed as required or optional in the administration console for SAP Cloud Identity Services.
The list of the attributes includes:
PERSONAL INFORMATION
-
Salutation
-
First Name
-
Middle Name
-
Last Name
The
Last Name
attribute is always required for user registration or upgrade, so it is not configurable. -

The
Email
attribute is required for user registration or upgrade, and as so not configurable, if marked as required on tenant level. IfEmail
is marked as not-required on tenant level, it becomes configurable, and must also be changed here. -

The
Phone
attribute becomes required and not configurable for user registration or upgrade, when Phone Verification via SMS is enabled. For more information, see Configure Registration and Upgrade Forms.If you disable Phone Verification via SMS, the

CONTACT PREFERENCES
By Email
By Telephone
The CONTACT PREFERENCES attributes define if the self-registration form contains a section Contact Preferences. This section asks the user if he or she would like to be contacted by email or phone, or both.
The presence of this section depends also on the
Country
attribute. The legislation in some countries requires the user to explicitly agree that he or she would like to be contacted by email or phone, or both.Based on the specific configuration, the following options are possible:
- If one or both CONTACT PREFERENCES parameters are enabled, and both
Country
parameters are disabled the Contact Preferences section will appear in the registration form.- If one or both
Country
parameters and one or both CONTACT PREFERENCES parameters are enabled, the Contact Preferences section will appear in the registration form if the user types at least one country which requires the user to explicitly agree that he or she would like to be contacted by email or phone, or both.- If both CONTACT PREFERENCES parameters are disabled, the "Contact Preferences" section will not appear in the registration form.
For the full set of the countries that do not require the user to explicitly agree that he or she would like to be contacted by email or phone copy the respective URL listed below, replace
<tenant ID>
with your Tenant ID, and open the edited URL in a Web browser.
