Abstract

An attribute inheritance schema for nodes in a database stored on a computer system includes a plurality of database entries organized in a hierarchical structure. The database entries include a plurality of group entries having sets of configuration attributes with a portion of said group entries being parent entries for others of said plurality of group entries and a plurality of person entries having sets of configuration attributes, arranged at sublevels of the hierarchical structure, with a portion of said person entries being parent entries for others of said person entries. The schema permits each attribute of a first one of the plurality of person entries to be specifically set in the first one of the plurality of person entries or be inherited from at least a second entry of the plurality of group entries that precedes the first one of the plurality of person entries in the hierarchical structure.
