# parent

<parent> is used to specify:

- The destination container for a <move> event or command.
- The current container of an object represented by an <instance>.

When originating for a driver, the <parent> must contain an <association> containing the unique key of the container object. When originating form DirXML, <parent> will contain an <association> only if the container object has an established association in eDirectory.
