Edit Custom User Fields
Required security profile permissions: External Business Unit View, Business Unit Custom Fields Edit, Users Create (or Edit).
You can use up to five custom fields in user profiles in your environment for whatever purposes you want. To more easily keep track of how you are using the custom fields, you can change their labels. For example, you can change the name of the Custom 1 field to Marital Status to remind yourself and other users that you want to use that custom field to record the marital status of users in your environment.
The bulk upload table does not display the updated names for custom fields. It always displays the default field names.
For more information, see Users Overview.
