User Attributes give you another powerful, user-centric way to manage devices that can cut down on admin time and simplify workflows. Once an end user signs into their identity provider account, data returned from the provider becomes available in Addigy as device facts — things like Employee Department, Hire Date, or Employee Type are useful for automating Addigy in response to changes in your organization.
What Data Does Addigy Identity Collect?
When "Collect User Attributes" is enabled, Addigy fetches:
- Identity Email
- Identity Employee Department
- Identity Employee Hire Date
- Identity Employee Type
- Identity Mobile Phone
- Identity Provider Name
- Identity User Display Name
- Identity Username
- Identity Office Location
- Identity Usage Location
- Identity Password Set Date
How to Enable Collection with Your Identity Provider
Setup steps differ slightly by provider:
- Addigy Identity User Attributes for Microsoft Entra
- Addigy Identity User Attributes for Google
- Addigy Identity User Attributes for Okta
Frequently Asked Questions
How often does this data refresh?
User Attributes refresh every time the end user successfully signs in.
What should I do with these attributes?
Use User Attributes to automatically filter devices with flex policies.

No, there's no additional cost for this feature.
Where do I see these populated fields?
One device: GoLive > Overview. Search for "Identity."
Multiple devices: Go to the Devices page, click Columns, search for "Identity," then select the attributes you want to see.
If I don't have this feature enabled, does Addigy still collect user data?
No. User information is only collected if the Collect User Attributes setting is enabled.
Why do some of my device facts show N/A?
This usually means the end user still needs to sign in successfully, the corresponding field is blank in the Identity Provider's directory, or the feature isn't enabled or configured correctly.
