Hi Mark, there are already serveral plugins and/or feature requests for generating this sort of virtual attributes ( http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Roadmap, http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Wishlist): Virtual DIT/Tree Views CoS + explict scoping(i think it's closest to your idea, maybe it's wiser to extend the features of CoS) dynamic group extension
