Thanks for the explanation Francesco, I can see how this could be a useful feature.
Using the default standalone server, I created a new group with dynamic user assignment "ATTRIBUTE, gender, ==, M". When I look at the membership of the group, I only see "Bellini". However the other users (e.g. Verdi) also have gender "M". Is there a reason why it is only adding one user to the group? Colm.
