Specifying additional attributes that can be used to create dynamic user groups
Upgrade to IBM Software Hub Version 5.1 before IBM Cloud Pak for Data Version 4.7 reaches end of support. For more information, see Upgrading IBM Software Hub in the IBM Software Hub Version 5.1 documentation.

Before you begin
Cloud Pak for Data must be configured to use the IBM Cloud Pak foundational services Identity Management Service. For more information, see Integrating with the Identity Management Service.
