COmanage Users List

[Benn Oshrin <>]

There are two basic ways to add extra data elements, through the use of
extended attributes described here:
https://spaces.internet2.edu/x/CQl3AQ and through the use of plugins,
described here: https://spaces.internet2.edu/x/CgAVAg

Extended attributes won't solve your use case, and while a Plugin would,
that feels a bit overkill for the solution that you need.

The best approach would probably be to simply add the entity ID as an
additional attribute to a CO Service in the core code. It would be a
pretty small change, and could presumably be used by other deployments
in the future. If you want to take this approach, we should probably
coordinate off list.

Thanks,
