Abstract:
Embodiments are provided to dynamically associate an attribute and an associated value to an object, including attribute-value sets to an object, but the embodiments are not so limited. In an embodiment, a system includes a directory component that can be configured to dynamically assign different values, for a set attributes, to an object. In one embodiment, a directory application can be configured to select an attribute-value set for an object based in part on a group membership determination, and a precedence parameter associated with an attribute-value, set, or other grouping. Other embodiments are available.
