At the moment, the only attributes that won't be touched are username and password. It has been told that these attribute are must be present in every ECM application for a user. For the other attributes, it's really up to you and the existing customized Nuxeo user schema on the server side.

If you just want to add attributes to the default schema, you'll just have to create a new plugin that extend the extension point and contribute new attributes from there.

If you don't want to use the default configuration, you can disable the fragment "org.nuxeo.ecm.rcp.usermanager.userformcontribution" which contain an extension with the default attributes. You'll will then create brain new plugin that contains ALL the attributes of the user (except username and password of course).

Each "org.nuxeo.ecm.rcp.usermanager.userFormsContributor" extension will provide a class that implements "org.nuxeo.ecm.usermanager.utils.IUserFormContributor". This class will define the way forms will retrieve data, display data and update data:

You may look at the javadoc comments of IUserFormContributor for more details. Here is the default configuration you can use as a template for new contributor:
