[Admins & Users](https://support.haystackteam.com/en/managing-your-workspace?hsLang=en#admins-users) # Customizing User Profile Fields in Haystack ⚙️ #### This procedure outlines the steps for workspace admins to customize user profile fields in the Haystack platform, ensuring profiles are relevant and streamlined for team members. **📣 Important: Admin Access & Provisioning Limits** - **Admin Access Only:** Configuration of these settings is restricted exclusively to **Workspace Admins**. Standard users cannot modify global profile settings or create custom fields. - **Provisioning Limitations:** While standard attributes (like name and email) sync automatically via Okta or Entra ID, or HRIS integrations **custom fields are not mappable via integration.**  - **Manual Updates Required:** Custom fields must be manually populated in the platform by the user or an admin.  Hey there, Haystackers! 👋🏼 Whether you're a visual learner or need things written out for you step-by-step, we've got you covered.
