Class CIM_Role
extends CIM_Collection

The Role object class is used to represent a position or set of responsibilities within an organization, organizational unit or system administration scope and is filled by a person or persons (or non-human entities represented by ManagedSystemElement subclasses) that may be explicitly or implicitly members of this collection subclass. The class is defined so as to incorporate commonly-used LDAP attributes to permit implementations to easily derive this information from LDAP-accessible directories. The members of a role are frequently called role occupants. This class's properties are a subset of a related class, OtherRoleInformation, which defines all the group properties and in array form for directory compatibility.
