A method, system, and computer usable program product for transmitting information about dynamic group memberships of an entry stored in a computer memory are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A set of dynamic group filters is received from a server in a distributed data environment. The set of dynamic group filters provides a set of attributes. A determination is made whether the entry includes a subset of the set of attributes. A request for dynamic group memberships of the entry is sent to the server. The request includes the subset of attributes and excludes attributes not used by any of the dynamic group filters. Information about at least one dynamic group of which the entry is a member is received for evaluation. A proxy server may receive the request for dynamic group filters and distribute the request to one or more servers in a distributed data environment.
