8-10 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Business Process Management
To associate properties to users, you must have a manager role in relation to those users.

8.3.6 Extending User Properties in Process Workspace
Extended user properties are used in defining organization roles, which are described in
Section 8.3.5, Managing Organization Roles in Process Workspace. .
Typically, users have some properties specified in Oracle Internet Directory or some other LDAP directory. Often, however, additional properties specific to their
organization and roles are necessary. At times, these properties are added on demand when newer business processes are created. At that time, it might not be possible to
extend the company’s global LDAP directory. In these cases, extended user properties are useful. For example, you can specify that a given user with the sales representative
role is located in California. Although, from a functional point of view, there is only one role, the individual user is associated with a property, and that property has a
value assigned for that user.
Figure 8–6 shows the Extended User Properties page.
