CIM_OtherGroupInformation Superclass: CIM_ManagedElement
The OtherGroupInformation class provides additional information about an associated Group instance. This class is defined so as to incorporate commonly-used LDAP attributes to permit implementations to easily derive this information from LDAP-accessible directories.
Qualifiers:Version ( "2.6.0" )
Parameters (local in grey)
string OrganizationName [ ] ;
The name of an organization related to the group.
string CommonName [ ] ;
A 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.
string ObjectClass [ ] ;
In the case of an LDAP-derived instance, the ObjectClass property value(s) may be set to the objectClass attribute values.
MaxLen ( 1024 )
Key
string 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.
string OU [ ] ;
The name of an organizational unit related to the group.
MaxLen ( 1024 )
string Descriptions [ ] ;
The Descriptions property values may contain human-readable descriptions of the object. In the case of an LDAP-derived instance, the description attribute may have multiple values that, therefore, cannot be placed in the inherited Description property.
MaxLen ( 128 )
string BusinessCategory [ ] ;
The BusinessCategory property may be used to describe the kind of business activity performed by the members of the group.
string Owner [ ] ;
The Owner property specifies the name of some object that has some responsibility for the group. In the case of an LDAP-derived instance, a property value for Owner may be a distinguished name of owning persons, groups, roles, etc.
string SeeAlso [ ] ;
In the case of an LDAP-derived instance, the SeeAlso property specifies distinguished name of other Directory objects which may be other aspects (in some sense) of the same real world object.
MaxLen ( 256 )
Key
string CreationClassName ;
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.
MaxLen ( 64 )
string Caption ;
The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
string Description ;
The Description property provides a textual description of the object.
string 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 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.
