Versionstring2.8.0 CIM_Person
DescriptionstringThe Person class is used to represent people, and holds their white and yellow pages data. The 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, OtherPersonInformation, which defines all the group properties and in array form for directory compatibility. CIM_Person
DescriptionstringUserContact contains the details related to contacting a user. This information will be promoted to UserEntity in a later major release of CIM, but cannot be promoted at this time since UserEntity is abstract today, with no keys. Key and required properties cannot be added to a class in a minor version release since this breaks backward compatibility. CIM_UserContact
DescriptionstringUserEntity is an abstract class that represents users - their names, contact data and similar information. CIM_UserEntity
DescriptionstringOrganizationalEntity is an abstract class from which classes that fit into an organizational structure are derived. CIM_OrganizationalEntity
DescriptionstringManagedElement is an abstract class that provides a common superclass (or top of the inheritance tree) for the non-association classes in the CIM Schema. CIM_ManagedElement
