<p>Does midPoint supports specifying manager for user? I
understand that currently it is possible to specify manager only
for organization unit but we have some org. units where there is
more than 1 manager.<br>

MidPoint org units may have any number of managers.<br>
<br>
As midPoint has an excellent support for organizational structure we
haven't seen any need for having a 'manager' attribute in each user.
That attribute is mostly a hack used by IDM systems that cannot
support proper organizational structures. Su approach is very
problematic, e.g. there needs to be explicit process to replace the
manager that potentially affect many user records, it is not
uncommon to have org unit that (temporarily) has no manager at all,
there may be several managers applicable for different situations
(e.g. a functional manager and project manager(s)) etc. Those
scenarios simply won't work well. So I strongly recommend to avoid
that approach.<br>
<br>
But if you insist on using that then you can define 'manager'
property as a custom extension of user schema.<br>
