This is an abstract base class that defines the concept of various types of roles used in the model.

Attributes
RoleSpecification	_specificationRole
String	roleCombination	A roleCombination is an array of string attributes that are used to identify and potentially select one or more policies for a set of managed entities from among a much larger set of available policies. Values of this attribute should be entered in comma separated value format; white space should be ignored.
Integer	roleSelectionMethod	This is an enumerated integer that defines the precise means used to select one or more entities which map to one or more roles contained in the roleCombination attribute of this object. Values include: 0: retrieve all 1: retrieve intersection For exampe, assume that there is an external query engine that is looking for the roles edge or ethernet. The result of this query will look at the roleCombination and roleSelectionMethod attributes of each managed object that it is querying. If the value of this attribute is 0, then all managed objects that have their roleCombination set to either {edge}, {ethernet}, or {edge, ethernet} will be retrieved. In contrast, if the value of this attribute is 1, then only those managed objects whose roleCombination attribute is set to {edge, ethernet} will be retrieved.

 roleCombination

Public String roleCombination

A roleCombination is an array of string attributes that are used to identify and potentially select one or more policies for a set of managed entities from among a much larger set of available policies.

Values of this attribute should be entered in comma separated value format; white space should be ignored.

 roleSelectionMethod

Public Integer roleSelectionMethod

This is an enumerated integer that defines the precise means used to select one or more entities which map to one or more roles contained in the roleCombination attribute of this object. Values include:

0: retrieve all
1: retrieve intersection

For exampe, assume that there is an external query engine that is looking for the roles edge or ethernet. The result of this query will look at the roleCombination and roleSelectionMethod attributes of each managed object that it is querying.

If the value of this attribute is 0, then all managed objects that have their roleCombination set to either {edge}, {ethernet}, or {edge, ethernet} will be retrieved. In contrast, if the value of this attribute is 1, then only those managed objects whose roleCombination attribute is set to {edge, ethernet} will be retrieved.
