Define a User Class

You define a user class attribute to calculate user information that is not uniquely referenced by one or more user directories. The result of the calculation can only be TRUE or FALSE. The result either applies to the user or it does not.

Note: The following procedure assumes you are creating a new object. You can also copy the properties of an existing object to create an object. More information exists in Duplicate Policy Server Objects.
