The Dynamic Attribute Provider allows you to provide an attribute for a role. A user, group, or role that is a member of a role has all dynamic attributes of the role. If a user is a member of multiple roles, and multiple roles have attributes with the same key, you can determine which role will have precedence. In addition, you can assign an attribute value to a user, overriding the attribute values provided by roles. Dynamic attributes are available for the global wiring feature described in To edit user preferences, see Editing Information for a User.

For information on functions you can perform on dynamic attributes, see Defining Dynamic Attributes Associated with a Role.
