Custom User Profile Fields and be able to use them as Trusted Attributes for PDP

This is something that I would love to see implemented.

This has come up in our workflow again and would drastically improve Domo for our end users. Please, work on this as soon as you can.

I know this thread is a bit old, but I'd like to add my thoughts on this feature. While it seems we can now define our own attributes which is really nice, it still requires those values come from IDP/SSO if you want those new attributes to be automatically inherited and locked down so the values on the profile cant be edited.

In my company, our PDP is very complex and we have a concept called data personas. Essentially, any given employee can where multiple 'hats' and may have 2 or more data personas. Each persona determines what datasets they have access too, as well as what data is visible. This allows us to give different filtering and object visibility rules to the same user depending on a given dataset. So his/her first data personas may allow them to see a 'Finance' dataset and have PDP filtering rules specifically tailored to that finance dataset. While the other persona allows them to see 'Operations' datasets with different PDP rules tailored to that persona.

So what would solve all of this in my world would be two things:

1. Allow custom attributes to be table driven just like PDP automation that we can control to supplement any IDP provided attributes. In large companies, sometimes its not feasible or IT restricted where adding data to peoples SSO/ActiveDirecty/IDP profiles isn't allowed. That way we can put 'rules' in this table that contain the user, the name of a custom attribute, and the value we've set for them. Those then show up on their profiles and the trusted attributes screen and can be leveraged for PDP.
2. Allow attributes to have sub attributes. This way, I can have a 'Data Persona' custom attribute, that also has sub attributes.

For example, lets say we have a Manager who has 2 personas. One called 'Ops Manager', one called Financial. It would be nice to see this kind of setup (everything in bold is a custom attribute, anything next to a minus sign would be a custom sub-attribute)

Data Persona

- Name | Finance

- Country | USA

- State | New York, Texas, California

- Name | Ops Manager

- Region | Southwest

This would allow me to greatly simplify PDP since I can infer their attributes directly. For every finance dataset, I can just add basic dynamic rules to my PDP table by putting a value like "domo.policy.managed_data_persona.name.finance" and PDP would automatically unfold the sub attributes to filter the data where the Country is USA and the States are New York, Texas, California. You could even have situations where you want BOTH personas taken into account for filtering. So you might do "domo.policy.managed_data_persona" and then all the sub-attributes are taken into account as OR rule evaluations so this user would see data where they see USA, New York, Texas, California OR where the Region is Southwest on the same dataset.

Where as right now, I have to generate individual rules/policies for each individual user for every dataset, every column and every value that they are allowed to see based on our internal persona data. It ends up being millions of rows to manage, and keeping up to date when their profiles change or they move to a different role/area of the business etc.

Apologies for the longwinded post. I just feel like PDP and Attributes could go much further and be much more flexible than they are today.

Thanks!

@DanBrinton Is there any information on these custom attributes being updateable with bulk-updates? The link you shared says that it is being looked into, I'm just hoping that it is a functionality that is going to be included.
