Tell us what you are trying to do?
I'm trying to add tags to users. I need more than 1 "type" of tags to regroup stuff like "skills, roles, known technology, etc."

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I checked on your forums and Google, only thing I found that is remotely related to this is an old 2011 article
hidden link

Is there a similar example that we can see?
Not that I know of... on the previous version of the website, the users were a CPT and the result can be seen in the attached screenshot. This is what we're trying to achieve.

What is the link to your site?
hidden link (website access password protected... user = client, pwd = client123)

Hi, there is currently no built-in way to apply custom taxonomies to Users. You may be able to achieve this with custom code, but it falls outside the scope of support we provide here in the forums because there is no Toolset API to perform this function. If you'd like I can submit this as a feature request, and our team will determine if this is something we can offer in the future.
