Abstract
A system for managing a logical people group. The system comprises a computer, including a computer readable medium and processor operating thereon. The system also comprises a query module, executing on the computer, operable to receive a complex query and return a logical group of users. The query module is operable to search, based on the complex query, across a plurality of information sources including a user directory, a plurality of roles, and an attribute directory. The system also comprises a query cache which stores, for a user-definable period, a reverse lookup table of users and the logical groups to which the users belong based on previously received complex queries.
