Class RoleDef

java.lang.Object
  org.openliberty.arisid.schema.RoleDef

public class RoleDef
extends java.lang.Object

A role is a value that defines a right that one or more subjects may possess. A "role" is locally meaningful to an application, and like a predicate must be interpreted by an attribute authority.

As with predicate, the use of descriptive text and DataType URIs will be used by attribute authorities to determine how to map and interpret roles.

Roles also differ from predicates in that they are handled as values rather than specific test. E.g. subject.getRoles() returns the roles the user possesses.
