Class Declaration Attributes Name Value SUPERCLASS CIM_Collection NAME CIM_Role
Class CIM_Role Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Version string 2.8.1000 CIM_Role Description string The Role object class is used to represent a position or set of responsibilities within an organization, organizational unit or other scope, and MAY be filled by a person or persons (or non-human entities represented by ManagedSystemElement subclasses) - i.e., the ’ role occupants ’ . The latter MAY be explicitly associated to a Role, by associating Identities using MemberOfCollection. The ’ position or set of responsibilities ’ of a Role are represented as a set of rights defined by instances of the Privilege class, and are also associated to the Role via MemberOfCollection. If Identities are not explicitly associated, instances of AuthorizationRule MUST be associated with a Role using AuthorizationRuleAppliesToRole. The rule defines how subject entities are authorized for a Role and to which target entities the Role applies. The Role class is defined so as to incorporate commonly-used LDAP attributes to permit implementations to easily derive this information from LDAP-accessible directories. This class ’ s properties are a subset of a related class, OtherRoleInformation, which defines all the group properties and uses arrays for directory compatibility. CIM_Role Description string Collection is an abstract class that provides a common superclass for data elements that represent collections of ManagedElements and its subclasses. CIM_Collection Description string ManagedElement is an abstract class that provides a common superclass (or top of the inheritance tree) for the non-association classes in the CIM Schema.

Property CreationClassName Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Key boolean true CIM_Role Description string CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified. CIM_Role MaxLen uint32 256 CIM_Role
Property Name Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Key boolean true CIM_Role Description string The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. In the case of an LDAP-derived instance, the Name property value may be set to the distinguished name of the LDAP-accessed object instance. CIM_Role MaxLen uint32 1024 CIM_Role
Property BusinessCategory Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string This property may be used to describe the kind of business activity performed by the members (role occupants) in the position or set of responsibilities represented by the Role. CIM_Role MaxLen uint32 128 CIM_Role
Property CommonName Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Required boolean true CIM_Role Description string A Common Name is a (possibly ambiguous) name by which the role is commonly known in some limited scope (such as an organization) and conforms to the naming conventions of the country or culture with which it is associated. CIM_Role
Property Caption Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object. CIM_ManagedElement MaxLen uint32 64 CIM_ManagedElement
Property Description Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string The Description property provides a textual description of the object. CIM_ManagedElement
Property ElementName Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information. Note that the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties. CIM_ManagedElement
