Defining Dynamic Attributes Associated with a Role
You can associate dynamic attributes with a role. Some webMethods applications use dynamic attributes.
When you define the attribute in the role, you assign it a value. The value you assign to the role is considered the default value. The default value is used for all users unless a user-specific value is defined for the attribute.
