Figure 1P-29 - PolicyAppRole Subclasses

PolicyApplicationRole is an abstract base class that defines the concept of various types of roles used to describe PolicyApplications and their use in the Model. This facilitates the use and management of Policy by defining functionality in terms of roles that are played in the managed environment. <br/>The excerpt from the SID PolicyApplicationRole hierarchy shows a close correspondence between the structure of the PolicyApplication class hierarchy and this hierarchy. This makes perfect sense, as roles are simply a convenient way to represent different sets of functionalities. This adds additional flexibility and extensibility to the SID policy model, as it enables the functionality of different applications to be described using one or more roles. <br/>
