multiple input match parameters to get 1 output?

Question

Okay, I don't even know how to phrase this question, let me begin with small set. Suppose, I have 3 input data fields:

let user= 'P' (Primary) or 'S' (secondary)
let key = k1 (random key)
let verification= passed or failed

Now the value of the key depends on the user and verification

if(user=='P' && verification === 'passed)
  return {k1:A}
if(user=='S' && verification === 'passed)
  return {k1:S}
if(user=='P' && verification === 'failed)
  return {k1:F}

Now, imagine possible number of values for user are 10, verification 3 and keys are 10. Then this code becomes ugly. Similarly, it would be if I choose Array. This would be simple if I have to write server-side app with DB. Then I could simply fire the query. What would you think the best way to solve this for browser JS app?

Again, just looking for ideas and not code. Thanks!

How can you have three cases for verification? Is it not just passed or failed? — JavaScript, Jun 18 '20 at 19:10
Did you consider using a switchcase with 2 variables, the way it's mentioned [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/9235189/13602909) — mahmoudayoub, Jun 18 '20 at 19:13
@mahmoudayoub I think switch would reduce some if--else but may still need if-else to complete the logic. — Vish, Jun 18 '20 at 19:27

Thanks to @JavaScript:

json object store
access/query like an array

const flagValues = {
    ssnValidation: {
        Primary: { Passed: 'P', Failed: 'F', NotAttempted: 'NA' },
        Secondary: { Passed: 'P', Failed: 'F', NotAttempted: 'NA' },
        AuthorizedUser: { Passed: 'P', Failed: 'F', NotAttempted: 'NA' },
        BusinessUser: { Passed: 'P', Failed: 'F', NotAttempted: 'NA' },
        Other: { Passed: 'P', Failed: 'F', NotAttempted: 'NA' },
    },
    dobValidation: {
        Primary: { Passed: 'P', Failed: 'F', NotAttempted: 'NA' },
        Secondary: { Passed: 'P', Failed: 'F', NotAttempted: 'NA' },
        AuthorizedUser: { Passed: 'P', Failed: 'F', NotAttempted: 'NA' },
        BusinessUser: { Passed: 'P', Failed: 'F', NotAttempted: 'NA' },
        Other: { Passed: 'P', Failed: 'F', NotAttempted: 'NA' },
    }
}

flagValues["ssnValidation"]["AuthorizedUser"]["Failed"]
