Learner Attributes
This article describes learners attributes and the methods for updating them in the Security Journey Platform.
Learner Attributes
Security Journey provides you with the ability to upload learner attributes to the Platform. This can be done in several ways:
-
Manually (learner edits their user profile)
-
SAML Claims
-
SCIM
Features and Benefits
Learner attributes are custom fields (like department, team, role, or location) added to a learner’s profile. They help you organize learners, improve reporting, and assign training more accurately.
Key Benefits
- Enrich learner profiles: Add organizational details to learner accounts for better visibility and management.
- Filter reporting: Learner attributes appear in many of our Platform reports, where they can be used for custom filtering (e.g., by team, department, title).
- Targeted training assignments: Use attributes to assign training to specific groups, such as: department (Engineering), job role (Developers), or country (USA)
Best Practice: Use consistent attribute values (same naming/spelling) to keep reporting clean and assignments accurate.
