Work with profile extensions
Using the Atom Publishing Protocol, also known as AtomPub, you can retrieve, update, or delete the fields that you have defined as add-ons to the standard fields provided in user profiles out of the box.Profiles extensions are stored in the profiles-config.xml file. See Add custom extension attributes in the Customizing section of the IBM Connections product documentation for more details on custom extensions.
Do not confuse custom fields with the default set of fields that are provided with a profile. That set of fields is predefined and the administrator can determine whether or not to let users edit them. For information about how to update the values of those fields, see Update profile entries.
