Class CIM_PolicyRoleCollection
extends CIM_SystemSpecificCollection

PolicyRoleCollection is used to represent a collection of ManagedElements that share a common policy role, and the PolicySets that CAN BE applied to those elements. (Note that the PolicySets that are CURRENTLY applied are indicated via instances of the association, PolicySetAppliesToElement.) The PolicyRoleCollection always exists in the context of a System, specified using the PolicyRoleCollectionInSystem aggregation. The value of the PolicyRole property in this class specifies the role. It is defined as a free-form string. ManagedElements that share the role defined in this collection are aggregated into the Collection via the ElementInPolicyRoleCollection association.

DescriptionstringThe Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.None TRANSLATABLE= true

Descriptionstring
DescriptionstringThe Description property provides a textual description of the object.None TRANSLATABLE= true
ElementNamestring
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 ManagedSystemElement's Name property 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 MAY be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.None TRANSLATABLE= true
InstanceIDstring
DescriptionstringWithin the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the following 'preferred' algorithm: <OrgID>:<LocalID> Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon ':', and where <OrgID> MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority (This is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness <OrgID> MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>. <LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace. For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST be used with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.None TRANSLATABLE= true

PolicyRolestring
DescriptionstringThe PolicyRole name for the PolicySets and other ManagedElements that are identified and aggregated by the Collection. Note that the aggregated PolicySets define the rules and groups of rules that may be applied to the associated ManagedElements. Although not officially designated as 'role combinations', multiple roles may be specified using the form: <RoleName>[&&<RoleName>]* where the individual role names appear in alphabetical order (according to the collating sequence for UCS-2). Implementations may treat PolicyRole values that are specified as 'role combinations' as simple strings.None TRANSLATABLE= true
