### Set Class Flags

Set class flags to control how this class is used. There are a number of class flags, but only those that are user-defined are shown. (Other flags are set automatically by eDirectory™.)

Effective Class
Set this flag if you want to create an effective class, which can be used to create objects.

Non-Effective Class
Used as a placeholder for a group of attributes. A non-effective class cannot be used to create objects but can be specified as a class from which other classes can inherit attributes. For example, the Person class is a non-effective class that holds attributes inherited by the User class.

Auxiliary Class
A collection of attributes that can be associated only with individual objects, not with entire classes.

Container Class
Set this flag if you want to make this a container class. When it is used to create objects, those objects become container objects (such as OU). Do not set this flag for a leaf object class.
