Abstract

See full text

A query scoping service enables administrators to scope a directory attribute bound query to an organizational boundary within an organizational structure. The directory attribute bound query may be scoped to a subset of users that have specific value(s) for specific user attributes. The directory attribute bound query includes a search string. Data that is analyzed with respect to the search string is limited to data that is stored in association with users that have specific value(s) for specific user attributes. In this way, data files that are stored in association with users that do not have the specific values for the specific directory attributes will be omitted from query results. The directory attribute bound query may be tied to data retention rules. Since the scope of the directory attribute bound query is defined based on the organizational structure, the query scope remains accurate notwithstanding changes occurring in the organizational structure.
