      Support the definition of arbitrary LDAP filters, where users matched are deemed to be part of a group.

      An example requirement, from Brown University in the USA:

      1. Dynamic Groups requirements from Brown University are pretty simple:

      We'll need the ability to define a dynamic group based on more or less arbitrary ldap query patterns on people objects in the People OU. A couple examples:

      (&(objectClass=inetorgperson)(Type=student))
      (&(objectClass=inetorgperson)(primaryaffiliation=clinical faculty)(mailstop=1117))

      So a very broad filter set that allows admins in Crowd to define a group based on an ldap filter starting at a particular ou would be useful.

            My organization uses a bunch of dynamic groups, so getting this supported would be awesome

            Just curious, is there any update on whether this requirement will be supported?

            If Crowd has a dynamic groups, this would be so great for all administrators of JIRA and Confluence.

            Is this something that is being considered for the future?

            Hi Abhay,

            We're not currently working on this, and we don't have the work scheduled for the near future either.

            Cheers,
            Dave.

            This may also involve support for the LDAP object class/attribute "groupOfURLs". Needs further research to determine which Directory Servers support it, along with the complexity of implementing.

            Breaking out dynamic group support from nested group support.
