Attributes enable you to control the fields that are displayed to the user (e.g. expose marketing or data fields to a user or group). You can achieve the same effects using the Registry; however, using the Group|Attributes page enables you to control fields for a group of users. For more information, refer to Configuring Group Permissions, Attributes and Content.
