Class Permission

java.lang.Object

openconnector.Permission

public class Permission
extends java.lang.Object

A model for complex entitlements. Many entitlements can be expressed using a combination of a "target" that identifies an object on the managed system (for example a database table) and a list of "rights" that specifies the entitlements the user holds for that target (for example table grants).

If the managed system wants to use permissions, you declare an attribute in the schema with type PERMISSINON. The connector is then expected to return values for this attribute as a List of Permission objects. Items in provisioning plans must set the "scope" to the name of this attribute if they wish to provision individual changes to a rights list.
