Τhe Attribute connectors section offers several tools to assist you in managing your attribute connectors. Among these features are a sortable table and a search mechanism. Read below for details.

  note

  This is a dynamic field and returns relevant results as you type.

Manage attribute connectors

You can perform several actions to your existing attribute connectors by clicking the three dots on the far right of each entry and selecting from:

• Edit

  1. Perform all necessary changes in the displayed pop-up window.

     note

     You can edit the attribute connector's configuration as needed, but you cannot change its type.

  2. Click Update.

  note

  The initial configurations of attribute connectors are kept intact after editing them so that authorization engines relying on the original instances are not impacted.

• Duplicate

  A clone of the attribute is created with the prefix Copy_of_ added to its name.

  note

  To avoid confusion between the various clones of any one attribute connector, the system adds automatically numeric suffixes to the name of each cloned item. The indexing system identifies the clone according to its sequential relation to its original attribute connector and to its subsequent iterations. For example, the suffix _1_2 indicates the item is the second clone made from the first clone generated.

• Delete

  Confirm your action in the displayed pop-up by clicking Yes, delete.
