Overview
Bizagi provides a set of information, called User Properties, that is relevant to each user individually. These include full name, email address, domain, roles, positions, delegated user, among others. These can be seen in the Organization Module.
You can create additional properties for your users such as date of birth, social security number, marital status, or any other property required for your Processes that have not been provided by default by Bizagi.
User properties can be related attribute relationships, one-to-many relationships or multiple-multiple relationships, with parameter or system entities.
User properties can be created directly from the Organizations module or via the Organization Wizard.

User properties are configured individually for each user in the Administration option of the Work Portal.
The User properties defined as Required are found on the first tab of the user's configuration, called Basic Information.
The User properties defined as Not required are found on the last tab Additional Information.
Example
Suppose that a company handles many of their internal Processes which takes into account the contract type of an employee and his/her salary. As this information is known for each active employee, it can be created as a User property.
We will create both the type of contract and the salary as User properties.
1. To create each User property, go to the New user property configuration menu of the Organizations module. You can also create a User property from the Organizations Wizard, as previously explained.
2. Fill in the required information.
For the first property, Salary, create a Currency-type property.
Select Simple Data Type from the Relation type list and then select Currency from the Data Type list.
3. This user property will be visible, editable and required so mark these options. Click Finish.
4. To create the Contract Type property open the New user property configuration menu.
5. The Contract Type property will be related with a one-to-many relationship to the Contract type parameter entity.
The parameter entity containing the information must be created prior to this configuration.
Select Single-Multiple option from the Relation type list and then select Contract Type from the Parameter/System Entity drop-down list.
6. This user property will be visible, editable and required so mark these options. Click Finish
The two newly created user properties are displayed under the User properties node.
If you access the Work Portal and go to the User's Administration menu, these new properties will be available for each user.
