Add, edit, or delete custom properties for a user profile (SharePoint Server 2010)

Si applica a: SharePoint Server 2010

Ultima modifica dell'argomento: 2016-11-30

The Manage Profile Service page of a User Profile Service application in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 is a central location for managing available user profile properties and creating new properties. For more information, see Panoramica del servizio profili utente (SharePoint Server 2010).

You can supplement default user profile properties with additional properties to track key information that is not otherwise available. Key business needs might encourage you to create new properties that associate users with important business processes. For example, a sales department can create a specific sales role property to share with a particular audience or audiences. Custom user profile properties can be edited to better suit business needs or they can be deleted when no longer needed.

The Manage Profile Service page cannot be accessed until an instance of a User Profile Service application exists. You can use the SharePoint Central Administration Web site to create and manage User Profile Service applications and other service applications for non-hosted environments. (For hosted environments, you do this on the Tenant Administrator page.) You can delegate management of a User Profile Service application to someone who does not have permissions to manage other services or settings contained in Central Administration. For more information, see Assegnare l'amministrazione di un'applicazione del servizio profili utente (SharePoint Server 2010).

In the dialog box, click Add Language, select a language from the menu, and then type the display name in the new language. You can add display names for any of the available languages. The display name that appears depends on the language of the operating system on the computer of the user who views the property.

   Nota

   If you select string (Multi Value), the property will be permanently set as a multivalued property. You cannot change this setting after you click OK. You can only delete the property and add it again as a new single value property.

    Nota

    For more information, see User Profile Properties Overview (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=155643) and Privacy Policies (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=155644).

17. In the Search Settings section, select the Alias check box, the Indexed check box, or both, depending on the kinds of searches that you want to be associated with this user profile property.

    Nota

    The Alias check box is unavailable unless the Default Privacy Setting is set to “Everyone”.

    Nota

    If you mark a property as indexed, a search for values of that property returns that user profile. For example, if the telephone number property is indexed, a search of telephone numbers finds the employee with that number. If you mark a property as aliased, the property is a suitable alias for this user. For example, if you search for all documents by John Kane, the result returns documents that were written by johnkane@contoso.com and Jonathan Kane if profile properties are marked with those values as aliases.
