Ability to define custom field on users

[Shaun_Walker]

Hi All, 

Wondering, is it possible to add custom fields to users, to store additional information such as registration numbers?

Cheers, 

Shaun

You can store custom data to a user profile using Canvas API, however, it's not visible through the UI (You can write custom JS to display the stored data)

Thanks Jerry, this might do perfectly for what we need right now.
Cheers,
