We are in the process of architecting out our User/Role/Permission functionality

We are in the process of architecting out our User/Role/Permission functionality to integrate Appian into our environment (and currently don't have an on-premise or any other installation available for me to test any theories)... I have a couple questions about the Custom User fields and how they can be used to create dynamic groups in Appian based on user attributes:
1 Can these custom fields be populated via the LDAP synchronization process?

LDAP Sync is done in a process and the smart service "LDAP User Profile Synchronization" allows to map LDAP fields to custom fields.

In our process after LDAP sync we look up other systems (ERP, HR) to put users in several groups like departments and teams.

Groups also have membership rules in which you can define that all users with the string "matchme" in custom field 2 should be in this group.

So ... yes :-)
