# Pinned Association Attributes

## Overview

Association Attributes for an object are Attributes that belong to Groups associated to the object, provided that the Attribute Type has been configured as an association Attribute Type. Organization Administrators and Directors in a Community or Source can configure Attribute Types as association Attribute Types for select Group types on the **Attribute Preferences**tab of the **Organization Config**and **Community**(or **Source**) **Config**screen, respectively. See the “Attribute Preferences” section of *ThreatConnect Organization Administration Guide*and *ThreatConnect Community and Source Administration Guide* for further instructions on this process.

If you [add an Attribute](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/attributes#creating-editing-and-deleting-attributes) to a Group and its Attribute Type is configured as an association Attribute Type for the Group’s type, then the Attribute will be displayed on the **Pinned Association Attributes**card on the [**Details**screen](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/the-details-screen) for Indicators and Groups associated to that Group. This allows you to gather context about Groups associated to an object whose **Details**screen you are viewing without needing to visit the **Details**screen for each associated Group.

NoteIf cross-owner associations are enabled on your ThreatConnect instance, association Attributes added to associated Groups in Communities and Sources will be displayed on the **Pinned Association Attributes**card of an object’s **Details**screen in addition to association Attributes added to associated Groups in your Organization.ImportantThe **Pinned Association Attributes**card is displayed on the new **Details**screen only. As such, you cannot view association Attributes added to Groups associated to Document, Email, Report, Signature, and Task Groups, because only the [legacy **Details**screen](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/the-details-screen-legacy) is available for these Group types.

## Before You Start

| Minimum Role(s) | Organization role of Read Only User |
| --- | --- |
| Prerequisites | - An Attribute Type configured as an association Attribute for a given Group type in an Organization, Community, or Source - An association Attribute added to a Group associated to the object whose **Details**screen you are viewing |

## Viewing Pinned Association Attributes

1. [Navigate to the **Details**screen](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/the-details-screen#viewing-the-details-screen) for an Indicator or Group.
2. On the **Overview**tab, scroll down to the **Pinned Association Attributes**card on the left side of the screen (Figure 1). This card displays association Attributes belonging to Groups associated to the object whose **Details**screen you are viewing. It also displays the following details about the Group to which the Attribute belongs: the Group’s type, summary, and owner. In Figure 1, there are three association Attributes for the Alias Attribute Type, which means that, for the object, there are three associated Groups with an Alias Attribute.

3. Click the arrow to the left of an Attribute to display its Attribute Type, [Security Labels](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/applying-security-labels), source, and value (Figure 2). If an Attribute’s type supports [pivoting](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/pivoting-on-data), a **Pivot** button will be displayed when the Attribute is expanded. Click it to [pivot from the Attribute](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/pivoting-on-data#pivoting-from-an-attribute) and view objects that contain an Attribute with the same type and value.
