1. A network packet switch for providing access to a network-based computer system, the network packet switch comprising:
- a computer-readable medium containing a computer program product for producing management objects used to configure the network packet switch, the computer program product comprising instructions for causing the network packet switch to;
accept an interface request from a user;
determine attributes of the user;
establish a request processor comprising variables that are based on attributes of the user; and
parse data files, based on the variables, to construct a set of management objects based on the attributes of the user.

Abstract
A network packet switch provides access to a network-based computer system. The switch has a computer-readable medium containing a computer program product to produce management objects used to configure the switch. The switch accepts an interface request from a user, determines attributes associated with the user, establishes a request processor comprising variables that are based on attributes of the user. The request processor parses data files, based on the attributes associated with the user, to construct a set of management objects.
