6. The computing system of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the attribute value or the condition is defined by a user based at least in part on the user inputting one or more query language formulas into a user interface element of a user interface generated by the computing system.

7. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more operations further comprise:

monitoring activity associated with an organizational management platform to detect one or more changes to the attribute value with respect to at least one of the entity, the one or more group members of the first group object, or one or more second group members of the one or more second group objects.

8. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the change to the attribute value with respect to the entity occurs in or is triggered by activity that occurs in at least one of an organizational management platform associated with the computing system, a first-party application of the organizational management platform, or a third-party application integrated into the organizational management platform.

9. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more operations further comprise:

performing, using one or more first-party applications of an organizational management platform associated with the computing system, one or more first-party operations based at least in part on at least one of the change to the attribute value with respect to the entity or an updated version of at least one of the first group object or the one or more second group objects.

10. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more operations further comprise:

causing one or more third-party operations to be performed by one or more third-party applications based at least in part on at least one of the change to the attribute value with respect to the entity or an updated version of at least one of the first group object or the one or more second group objects, wherein the one or more third-party applications are integrated into an organizational management platform associated with the computing system.

11. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first query and the one or more second queries comprises a user-specified query.

12. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first query and the one or more second queries specifies a combination of multiple different attribute values for multiple different attributes.

13. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise applying a rule or policy that is defined using a third query expressed in the query language, wherein the third query refers to at least one of the first group object and the one or more second group objects.

14. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

creating, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, a first group object based at least in part on an attribute value that at least partly defines membership of one or more group members of the first group object, the one or more group members each having the attribute value;

generating, by the computing system, a dependency mapping file that maps the attribute value to one or more second group objects created based at least in part on the attribute value;

employing, by the computing system, the dependency mapping file to identify the one or more second group objects based at least in part on detection of a change to the attribute value with respect to an entity associated with the first group object and the one or more second group objects; and

updating, by the computing system, membership of the first group object and the one or more second group objects to reflect the change to the attribute value with respect to the entity, wherein membership in the first group object is defined using a first query expressed in a query language, membership in the one or more second group objects is defined using one or more second queries expressed in the query language, and the first query and the one or more second queries each specify the attribute value; wherein

evaluating membership in the first group object comprises traversing an object graph based on the first query; and

evaluating membership in the one or more second group objects comprises traversing the object graph based on the one or more second queries.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , further comprising:
