Versionstring2.6.0 CIM_Group
DescriptionstringThe Group class is used to collect ManagedElements that are intended to be conformant with an LDAP GroupOfNames, as defined by IETF RFC 2256. For other purposes, ConcreteCollection, or other subclasses of Collection, may be more appropriate. This 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, OtherGroupInformation, which defines all the group properties and in array form for directory compatibility. CIM_Group
MappingStringsstringRFC2407.IETF|Section 7.10 GroupOfNames CIM_Group
DescriptionstringCollection is an abstract class that provides a common superclass for data elements that represent collections of ManagedElements and its subclasses. CIM_Collection
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

Property Qualifiers

Property CreationClassName Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
Keybooleantrue CIM_Group
DescriptionstringCreationClassName 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_Group

Property Name Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
Keybooleantrue CIM_Group
DescriptionstringThe 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_Group

Property BusinessCategory Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringThe BusinessCategory property may be used to describe the kind of business activity performed by the members of the group. CIM_Group

Property CommonName Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
Requiredbooleantrue CIM_Group
DescriptionstringA Common Name is a (possibly ambiguous) name by which the group 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_Group

Property Caption Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringThe Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object. CIM_ManagedElement
MaxLenuint3264 CIM_ManagedElement

Property Description Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringThe Description property provides a textual description of the object. CIM_ManagedElement

Property ElementName Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringA 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
