Add custom attributes

Some Figma attributes are mapped to OneLogin attributes by default:

• Email
• First Name
• Last Name
• NameID
• SCIM Username
• Title
• Manager
• Department

Other SCIM Enterprise User attributes are optional. You will need to add these as custom user fields if you want to include them in your provisioning:

• employeeNumber
• costCenter
• organization
• division

To create a custom field in OneLogin:

1. Login to your OneLogin account.
2. Go to Users > Custom User Fields in the main menu:
3. Complete the New User Field inputs.
4. Click SAVE to apply your changes.

Let your users know about the change

The first time a user logs into Figma using SSO, or after they are provisioned via SCIM, they'll receive a verification email from SendGrid. This email contains a unique 6-digit pin, which they'll use just once as an additional security measure during their initial login.

To make sure users don't mistake the email for spam or a phishing attempt, you may wish to let them know about this extra step in advance.
