Manage Search Attributes

In the GroupID mobile app, users can search for directory objects (groups, users, contacts) in an identity store. You can specify the schema attributes that search is performed on. When a user enters a search string, the values of the specified attributes are matched to return the results.

You can also specify a search operator that determines what part of the attribute value should match the search string.
