Updating User custom property labels in Saviynt

Saviynt supports 65 Custom properties to use to store user information and comes with default labels. To make it user-friendly and readable format we are required to update the labels.

This can be achieved in Saviynt by following the below steps.

Step 1: Assign the below SAV Roles to yourself

Search for your user under Admin => Identity => Repository => enter your username and search

Navigate to SAV Roles Tab in your user profile and add the below roles using the Action button 

ROLE_UIADMIN 

ROLE_ADMIN 

The above roles are needed to update the labels in the Saviynt Application.

Sometimes in Prod, you may not be supposed to do this directly as an Audit compliance issue, so you can use approval workflows if configured or seek approvals from IGA Administrators.

Step 2: Logout and Login again

Note: Sometimes you may also need to clear the browsing history or cache

Step 3: Update the Custom Property Label

Navigate to Admin => Identity Repository => Users => pick any user and Navigate to Other Attributes And click on the pencil Icon for the attribute that you want to update the label as shown in the screenshot

Select the language on the top right as highlighted in the below screenshot and enter your label text in the editable text box and click on Save Changes at the bottom

I personally Suggest adding the cp# at the end of the label so that you can easily identify the backend name

for Example for Custom Property 1 if the label is department then use department cp1

Repeat the above steps for all the required user's custom properties.

You can also update the other labels in the system wherever you see the pencil Icon

Note: This change takes time to reflect as the message.properties files need to update in all the pods of the instance, but not more than 15mins

Note: This label change is applicable to all the users in the system.

Step 4: Remove yourself from the privileged SAV Roles that you assigned in step 1
