# AWS Directory Service Data attributes
<a name="ad_data_attributes"></a>

 This topic describes how to work with attributes in the [AWS Directory Service Data API Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//directoryservicedata/latest/DirectoryServiceDataAPIReference/Welcome.html). 

## Request Attributes
<a name="ad_data-attributes-request"></a>

 The following attributes must be defined in the request body parameters. For an example of how to define these attributes, see [CreateGroup](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/directoryservicedata/latest/DirectoryServiceDataAPIReference/API_CreateGroup.html) in the *AWS Directory Service Data API Reference*.

## Other Attributes
<a name="ad_data-attributes-other"></a>

 The following attributes must be defined in `OtherAttributes` and don't map to any request body parameters. When you define other attributes in your requests, you must specify the attribute name, data type, and the value for each attribute. For an example of how to define these attributes, see [CreateUser](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/directoryservicedata/latest/DirectoryServiceDataAPIReference/API_CreateUser.html) in the *AWS Directory Service Data API Reference*. 

**Note**  
 The names of these attributes are case insensitive *when provided as inputs* and the equivalent of the LDAP display name.
