Extention Attributes
The Extension Attributes configuration page allows administrators to define friendly labels for Entra ID extension attributes used in Bsure Insights.
By default, extension attributes have technical names such as extensionAttribute1, extensionAttribute2, and so on. These names are often difficult for non-technical users to understand. By adding friendly labels, you can make reports and drilldown pages easier to read and more meaningful for business users.
What friendly labels are used for
Friendly labels are displayed instead of the technical extension attribute names in relevant Bsure Insights pages, including:
KPI Drilldown pages
My Team
My Organization
Application Owner
Assessments
This helps users understand what each attribute represents without needing technical knowledge of Entra ID attribute naming.
Configure friendly labels
To configure friendly labels:
Go to Settings.
Open Configuration.
Select the Extension Attributes tab.
Enter a friendly label for each extension attribute you want to rename.
Click Save.
Fields that are left blank will continue to use the default technical label.
Example use case
An organization may use extension attributes to store internal information such as department ownership, cost center, employee type, region, or other company-specific metadata.
Instead of showing the technical attribute name in reports, administrators can give the attribute a clear business-friendly name. This makes the data easier to understand for managers, application owners, and other users working with insights in Bsure.
Important to know
Changing a friendly label does not change the underlying Entra ID attribute or the data stored in it. It only changes how the attribute name is displayed in Bsure Insights.
