Making individual user profile attributes read-only

You can make individual user profile attributes read-only as follows:

  1. Follow the steps in Download the XUI to obtain the XUI source.
  2. Edit the UserProfileTemplate.html file (located in the /am-external/openam-ui/openam-ui-user/src/resources/themes/default/templates/user directory for AM 7 and later, or /am-external/openam-ui/openam-ui-ria/src/main/resources/templates/user directory for AM 6.x) and add readonly=true to any attributes you want to make read-only. For example, the amendments would look like this to make First Name and Last Name read-only: <div class="panel-body"> {{#user}} {{> form/_basicInput property="username" label="common.user.username" readonly=true}} {{> form/_basicInput property="givenName" label="common.user.givenName readonly=true"}} {{> form/_basicInput property="sn" label="common.user.sn" required="true readonly=true"}} {{> form/_basicInput type="email" property="mail" label="common.user.emailAddress" extraAttributes='data-validator="validEmailAddressFormat" data-validator-event="keyup"' }} {{> form/_basicInput type="tel" property="telephoneNumber" label="common.user.phoneNumber" extraAttributes='data-validator="validPhoneFormat" data-validator-event="keyup"'}} {{/user}} </div>
  3. Follow steps in Test and deploying the XUI to test your changes, then rebuild and deploy.

The User Profile page now shows the First Name and Last Name fields have been grayed out to indicate the values in these fields are hard-coded :
