This feature is still needed for example, when enabling the typeahead attribute, now someone in Administration needs to manually add it to each user in the system as applying it to the everyone group is insufficient.

We are making a note of it on our Design Documentation, but that is inadequate when dealing with an extensive live system with users constantly being onboarded or removed.

It is also inadequate for IT to be expected to add this attribute to every single user manually, as it is cumbersome. 

This is a much-needed feature that needs to be incorporated into an Enterprise experience.

I agree.  In fact I am surprised it is not there already. 

This is an idea we've entertained before. However, the actual implementation is much easier said than done. One of the problems is that there are no good ways to resolve conflicts between attributes on different groups. Say you have a user who belongs to Group A and Group B that have different values for an attribute. Should a user who belongs to both groups use Group A's value or Groups B's?

For now, group attributes are there for use with integrations.

Have group attributes been removed? I have noticed that in the admin console version 9.0.2 the attributes tab is present, however, in version 9.1.1 (and even SP1 edition) I no longer see a tab for attributes for a group.

Thank you for the response. I had a client using the attributes as a means of working with an integration and now it is gone so that has caused some issues.

Attributes for group accounts are supported on the server-side but LFAdmin no longer displays them. If you use an older version of LFAdmin you can view them.

Hi,

We actually make use of this currently were we have assigned specified Actions that can be taken against or Users for a specific Group. using various tables including the trustees_attr table we then created a view which is referenced by dynamic fields and this works well for us. We are currently on 9.0.2 and looking to upgrade to 9.1.1 and I noticed this in the release notes. So for future changes this change is going to have some obstacles for us. And to keep an older version of the LF Admin console around just for maintenance some how does not sound like a proper solution.

I know this is an old post but this is still a feature that is needed.  While applying attributes repository wide via the Everyone group is nice, we often find the need to apply specific attributes based on either Laserfiche or Active Directory groups.  This is especially the case where an organization has a single repository housing documents for multiple departments.  For example:

• Single Repository
  • Accounts Payable
  • Fleet
  • Human Resources
  • Facilities & Maintenance
  • Purchasing
  • Risk Management

Each of these departments has their own templates with their own saved searches.  However there is no way to apply a default attribute configuration to each department that is customized to their needs.  Thus it becomes a manual process where they save xml's for each department and must apply those when someone new starts.
