Modifying user personalization data
You may choose to store personal information about users in the application.
Personalized data is configured using specific attribute-value pairs called
personalization data elements. Personalization data elements can be stored at
the user record level or at the role level. A user may also inherit elements from
the roles that he has been granted. Before you can begin assigning
personalization data elements to users, you must define and enter the set of
attributes into the SafeWord database. For more information about
setting up personalization data attributes, see “Creating personalization data”
on page 152.
