This tab identifies the role with a unique system-assigned ID number, a namespace and a name. Each role also has a type which tends to match the types of permissions and responsibilities associated with it.

Title |
Description |
Role |
Display-only. The unique, system-assigned ID number that identifies this role. |
Type Name |
Display-only. Because the role type normally reflects the type of qualifiers this role will need to collect when members are added, this name usually identifies the general types of permissions and responsibilities associated with it.
|
Role Namespace |
Required. An indicator that associates the role with a particular application and module. |
Role Name |
Required. The common descriptive name by which this role is known. |
Active |
Check this box to indicate that this role is active and is, therefore, to be included by KIM when evaluating permissions and responsibilities. Uncheck the box to indicate that this role is inactive. |
When you click the Create New button, the system displays the KIM Type Lookup. You must search for and select an existing Type in order for the system to generate a new Role document.
|
Note that while the KIM Type Lookup is used when creating new groups and roles, not all KIM types are valid for both. When using this Lookup, you may receive different results depending on the KIM types that are valid for the entity you are working with. |
