# Handling Multi-Valued Attributes

Some attributes, like groups, support the ability to have multiple values, and are stored as a list. In order to model this, you will put each value on a separate row for that field. All additional values should be repeated.

Example:

| id | name | ... | groups | ... | This header row will be skipped |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | jdoe | ... | Admins | ... | This is the first account |
| 1 | jdoe | ... | Employee | ... | This is a continuation of the first account.<br>Notice how values repeat, except for the multi-valued column |
| 2 | msmith | ... | Employee | ... | This is the second account |

> [!NOTE]
>
> The `name` is a single-valued attribute.

This will yield **jdoe** with Admins and Employee groups, and **msmith** with a single Employee group.
