[Unity-idm-discuss] Attribute Statements

[Björn H. <b.h...@fz...>]

Hi there,

I ran into a problem using attributes statements in Unity 1.9.3. I would
like to use an attribute statement to copy an attribute from sub-groups.
Entity membership within sub-groups is mutually exclusive, the attribute
in question gets assigned automatically based on group membership. When
using two attribute statements to copy the attribute from the respective
sub-groups, the attribute value is updated on all entities within the
parent group.

parent: dynamic attribute value from sub-groups assigned to all entities
|- servers: all entities assigned role server
|- users: all entities assigned role user

The dynamic attribute values are taken from one group or the other,
depending on the order of the statements and the conflict resolution.
Only 'overwrite previous' and 'skip' really work here, but again, due to
the entities and hence the attributes being mutually exclusive within
the sub-groups, there should not be any conflict (to the best of my
knowledge).

Am I doing anything wrong or is the value selection and assignment not
sufficiently restrictive?


Cheers, and thanks in advance,
Björn
