UserType (Object Definition)

Items

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Human-readable, mutable name of the object. It may also be an identifier (login name, group name). It is usually unique in the respective context of interpretation. E.g. the name of the UserType subtype is usually unique in the whole system. The name of the ShadowType subtype is usually unique in the scope of resource (target system) that it belongs to.

  The name may not be human-readable in a sense to display to a common end-user. It is intended to be displayed to IDM system administrator. Therefore it may contain quite a "ugly" structures such as LDAP DN or URL.

  Name is mutable. It is considered to be ordinary property of the object. Therefore it can be changed by invoking usual modifyObject operations. However, change of the name may have side effects (rename process).

  Although name is specified as optional by this schema, it is in fact mandatory for most object types. The reason for specifying the name as optional is that the name may be generated by the system instead of supplied by the clients. However, all objects stored in the repository must have a name.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Free-form textual description of the object. This is meant to be displayed in the user interface.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Type of the object. It is used to distinguish what a specific object represents. Whether it is a different kind of organizational unit, project, team, or different kind of user, etc.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Result of the operation that fetched this instance of the object. It is mostly used to indicate that the object is not complete or there is some problem with the object. This is used instead of exception if the object is part of larger structures (lists as in list/search operations or composite objects). If not present then the "SUCCESS" state is assumed.

  This field is TRANSIENT. It must only be used in runtime. It should never be stored in the repository.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: dyn,RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Extension container that provides generic extensibility mechanism. Almost any extension property can be placed in this container. This mechanism is used to extend objects with new properties. The extension is treated exactly the same as other object properties by the code (storage, modifications, etc), except that the system may not be able to understand their meaning.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Set of the orgs (organizational units, projects, teams) that the object relates to. This usually means that the object belongs to them but it may have other meanings as well (e.g. user manages an organizational unit).

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Triggers for this object. They drive invocations of corresponding trigger handlers at specified time.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Meta-data about object creation, modification, etc.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Reference to the tenant to which this object belongs. It is a computed value set automatically by midPoint. It is determined from the organizational structure. Even though this value is computed it is also stored in the repository due to performance reasons.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Lifecycle state of the object. This property defines whether the object represents a draft, proposed definition, whether it is active, deprecated, and so on.

  There are few pre-defined lifecycle states. But custom lifecycle states may also be defined. Pre-defined lifecycle states are:

  • draft: Definition of the new object in progress. The object is NOT active. The definition may change at any moment. It is not ready yet.
  • proposed: Definition of a new object is ready for use, but there is still a review process to be applied (e.g. approval). The object is NOT active. However the definition should not change in this state.
  • active: Active and working definition. Ready to be used without any unusual limitations.
  • deprecated: Active definition which is being phased out. The definition is still fully operational. But it should not be used for new assignments. E.g. it should not be requested, it should not be approved, etc.
  • archived: Inactive historical definition. It is no longer used. It is maintained only for historical, auditing and sentimental reasons.
  • failed: Unexpected error has occurred during object lifecycle. Result of that event is that the object is rendered inactive. The situation cannot be automatically remedied. Manual action is needed.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Description of recent operations executed on this object (or related objects, e.g. shadows in case of a focal object). The number of operations to be kept here is configurable.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Model context describing executed operation

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  The policy situation(s) of this object. The situations are result of evaluation of the policy rules. This property is recorded for each object and can be used for reporting, diagnostics, target selection in certification campaigns, etc.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Triggered policy rules for this assignment. (Not necessarily complete; subject to specified storage strategy.) This is EXPERIMENTAL functionality. It is possibly to change in the near future.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Recorded exception from a policy rule. The exceptions that are approved are recoded here to avoid re-evaluating and re-approving them all the time. This is EXPERIMENTAL functionality. It is likely to change in the near future.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Diagnostic information attached to this object.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Set of object's assignments. Assignments define the privileges and "features" that this object should have, that this object is entitled to. Typical assignment will point to a role or define a construction of an account.

  Assignments represent what the object SHOULD HAVE. The assignments represent a policy, a desired state of things (cf. linkRef).

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Iteration number. Starts with 0. It is used to iteratively find unique identifier for the object.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Iteration token. String value that is usually a suffix to the identifier based on iteration number. E.g. ".007". It is used to iteratively find unique identifier for the object.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  References to all applicable archetypes, including "indirect" archetypes such as archetype supertypes. Contains references to active archetypes only.

  Note: the value of this reference is only updated when object is recomputed. Therefore if a role definition changes then all the affected objects must be recomputed for this reference to be consistent.

  This is an operational property. It is set and managed by the system. It is used for efficient use of archetypes.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  References to abstract roles (roles, orgs, services) that this focus currently belongs to - directly or indirectly. This reference points to all the roles in the role hierarchy. It only points to the roles that were evaluated as active during last recompute (conditions were true, validity constraints not violated).

  Note: the value of this reference is only updated when a focal object is recomputed. Therefore if a role definition changes then all the affected focal objects must be recomputed for this reference to be consistent.

  Roles mentioned here are those that are NOT obtained via delegation, i.e. "deputy" relations. Relations acquired by delegation are listed in delegatedRef item.

  This is an operational property. It is set and managed by the system. It is used for efficient search of all current role members, e.g. for the purpose of displaying this information in the GUI.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  References to objects (abstract roles as well as users) obtained via delegation. If A1 is a deputy of A, its delegatedRef contains a union of A, A.roleMembershipRef and A.delegatedRef.

  This is an operational property. It is set and managed by the system. It is used for efficient search of all current role members, e.g. for the purpose of displaying this information in the GUI.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  References to abstract roles (roles and orgs) that this focus may directly belong to. This reference only points to the next role in the hierarchy. However, it is backed by a "closure" index in the repository subsystem. Therefore it can efficiently support tree-like queries. This reference points to the roles for whose the condition is not true. Therefore it does not reliably show who actually has a role. It shows potential role members - all the object that are possibly influenced when a role definition changes.

  This is an operational property. It is set and managed by the system. It is used for efficient search of all possible role members, e.g. for the purpose of recomputing all role members after the role definition is changed.

  TODO. NOT IMPLEMENTED YET. EXPERIMENTAL. UNSTABLE.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Set of shadows (projections) linked to this focal object. E.g. a set of accounts linked to a user. This is the set of shadows that belongs to the focal object in a sense that these shadows represents the focal object on the resource. E.g. The set of accounts that represent the same midPoint user (the same physical person, they are "analogous").

  Links define what the object HAS. The links reflect real state of things (cf. assignment).

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Set of personas linked to this focal object. E.g. a set of virtual identities linked to a user. This is the set of "secondary" focal objects that belongs to this focal object in a sense that the current focal object is in control over the linked focal objects. E.g. this reference can be used to link user object which specified a physical person with his virtual identities (personas) that specify his identity as an employee, system administrator, customer, etc. The default meaning is that the personas are "analogous", i.e. the represent different facets of the same physical person. However, this meaning may be theoretically overridden by using various relation parameters in this reference.

  This reference define what the object HAS. The links reflect real state of things (cf. assignment).

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Type that defines activation properties. Determines whether something is active (and working) or inactive (e.g. disabled).

  It applies to several object types. It may apply to user, account, assignment, etc. The data in this type define if the described concept is active, from when it is active and until when. The "active" means that it works. If something is not active, it should not work or not cause any effect. E.g. inactive user should not be able to log in or run any tasks, the non-active role should not be assigned and if assigned it should not be taken into account when computing the accounts.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Photo corresponding to the user / org / role.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  The name, identifier or code of the cost center to which the user belongs.

  Please note that organization objects (OrgType) also have a costCenter property. Therefore it is usual that if a user belongs to an organization the costCenter from the organization is used. Therefore this property is usually used only for users that do not belong to any organization or for users that have different cost center than the one defined by the organization.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Primary locality of the user, the place where the user usually works, the country, city or building that he belongs to. The specific meaning and form of this property is deployment-specific.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Indicates user's preferred language, usually for the purpose of localizing user interfaces. The format is IETF language tag defined in BCP 47, where underscore is used as a subtag separator. This is usually a ISO 639-1 two-letter language code optionally followed by ISO 3166-1 two letter country code separated by underscore. The languages that do not have country-specific variants are usually specified by using a two-letter country code ("sk", "cs", "tr"). Languages with country-specific variants have country-specific subtags ("pt_BR", "zn_CN"). If no value is specified in this property then system default locale is assumed.

  Examples:

  • en_US
  • sk
  • cs
  • pt_BR

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Examples:

  • Europe/Bratislava

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  E-Mail address of the user, org. unit, etc. This is the address supposed to be used for communication with the user, org. unit, etc. E.g. IDM system may send notifications to the e-mail address. It is NOT supposed to be full-featured e-mail address data structure e.g. for the purpose of complex address-book application.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Primary telephone number of the user, org. unit, etc.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Full name of the user with all the decorations, middle name initials, honorific title and any other structure that is usual in the cultural environment that the system operates in. This element is intended to be displayed to a common user of the system.

  Examples:

  • cpt. Jack Sparrow
  • William "Bootstrap" Turner
  • James W. Random, PhD.
  • Vladimir Iljic Lenin
  • Josip Broz Tito
  • Chuck Norris

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Given name of the user. It is usually the first name of the user, but the order of names may differ in various cultural environments. This element will always contain the name that was given to the user at birth or was chosen by the user.

  Examples:

  • Jack
  • Chuck

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Family name of the user. It is usually the last name of the user, but the order of names may differ in various cultural environments. This element will always contain the name that was inherited from the family or was assigned to a user by some other means.

  Examples:

  • Sparrow
  • Norris

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Middle name, patronymic, matronymic or any other name of a person. It is usually the middle component of the name, however that may be culture-dependent.

  Examples:

  • Walker
  • John
  • Iljic

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Familiar or otherwise informal way to address a person.

  Examples:

  • Bootstrap
  • Bobby

  The meaning of this property is to take part in the formatted full name of the person, e.g. William "Bootstrap" Turner. It is not intended to be used as a username or login name. This value is usually changeable by the user itself and it defines how the user wants other to address him. Therefore it is not ideal for use as an identifier.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Honorific titles that go before the name.

  Examples:

  • cpt.
  • Ing.
  • Sir

  This property is single-valued. If more than one title is applicable, they have to be represented in a single string (concatenated) form in the correct order.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Honorific titles that go after the name.

  Examples:

  • PhD.
  • KBE

  This property is single-valued. If more than one title is applicable, they have to be represented in a single string (concatenated) form in the correct order.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Examples:

  • CEO
  • Security Officer
  • Assistant

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Unique, business-oriented identifier of the employee. Typically used as correlation identifier and for auditing purposes. Should be immutable, but the specific properties and usage are deployment-specific.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Employee type specification such as internal employee, external or partner. The specific values are deployment-specific. However it is generally assumed that this will be enumeration of several type names or codes that define "classes" of users.

  Even though this property is named "employeeType" due to the historical reasons it is used in a more generic way to mean general type of user. Therefore it can be used to distinguish employees from customers, etc.

  DEPRECATED: Use ObjectType.subtype

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Name or (preferably) immutable identifier of organization that the user belongs to. The format is deployment-specific. This property together with organizationalUnit may be used to provide easy-to-use data about organizational membership of the user.

  This is multi-valued property to allow membership of a user to several organizations. Please note that midPoint does not maintain ordering in multi-value properties therefore this is not usable to model a complex organization hierarchies. Use OrgType instead.

• $itemDefinition.Name.LocalPart

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Name or (preferably) immutable identifier of organizational unit that the user belongs to. The format is deployment-specific. This property together with organization may be used to provide easy-to-use data about organizational membership of the user.
