Managing Adapters

An adapter builds upon a meta-adapter by providing data values that are specific to an organization, role, or user. An adapter references a meta-adapter, and takes data values from the meta-adapter for those properties that are not editable by the user. When an end user changes the user-editable properties of an adapter, that adapter would then apply only to that one user.
