DCIM_Role
Property Description
CommonName
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.
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.
ElementName
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: 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.
Name
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.
RoleCharacteristics
RoleCharacteristics provides descriptive information about the
intended usage of the Role.
Possible values are:
• 2 = Static
• 3 = Opaque
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32000..65535 = Vendor Specific
When the value 2 Static is specified, no modification to the role is
allowed. Any requests by client to change the privileges or the scope
of the role by modifying the associated instances of CIM_Privilege or
referencing associations fails.
When the value 2 Static is not specified, the instance of CIM_Role
may be modified by a client. The modification may include changing
the scope of the role or rights granted. When the value 3 Opaque is
specified, the rights granted by the CIM_Role instance is not explicitly
modeled through aggregation of instances of CIM_Privilege.
When the value 3 Opaque is not specified, the rights granted by the
instance of CIM_Role is explicitly modeled through aggregation of
instances of CIM_Privilege.
