To add to Quanah's right statement:

Generally operational attributes are those attributes that are managed
by the server and not by the clients, e.g. modifyTimeStamp etc. Since
the server manages memberOf on the fly (based on the client managed
member attribute in group objects) it is IMO rightly marked as operational.

Cheers,

Peter
