# Class CIM_PrivilegeManagementService
extends CIM_AuthorizationService

The PrivilegeManagementService is responsible for creating, deleting, and associating AuthorizedPrivilege instances. References to 'subject' and 'target' define the entities that are associated with an AuthorizedPrivilege instance via the relationships, AuthorizedSubject and AuthorizedTarget, respectively. When created, an AuthorizedPrivilege instance is related to this (PrivilegeManagement)Service via the association, ConcreteDependency.

Name | Data Type | Value
--- | --- | ---

Description

string

When this method is called, a provider updates the specified Subject's rights to the Target according to the parameters of this call. The rights are modeled via an AuthorizedPrivilege instance. If an AuthorizedPrivilege instance is created as a result of this call, it MUST be linked to the Subject and Target via the AuthorizedSubject and AuthorizedTarget associations, respectively. When created, the AuthorizedPrivilege instance is associated to this PrivilegeManagementService via ConcreteDependency. If the execution of this call results in no rights between the Subject and Target, then they MUST NOT be linked to a particular AuthorizedPrivilege instance via AuthorizedSubject and AuthorizedTarget respectively. Note that regardless of whether specified via parameter, or template, the Activities, ActivityQualifiers and QualifierFormats, are mutually indexed. Also note that Subject and Target references MUST be supplied. The successful completion of the method SHALL create any necessary AuthorizedSubject, AuthorizedTarget, AuthorizedPrivilege, HostedDependency, and ConcreteDependency instances.

Values | string | Class Name, <Class.>Property, <Class.>Method, Object Reference, Namespace, URL, Directory/File Name, Command Line Instruction, SCSI Command, Packets, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Reserved
Privilege | REF CIM_AuthorizedPrivilege

Description

string

On input, this reference MUST be either NULL or refer to an instance of AuthorizedPrivilege that is used as a template. The rights granted by corresponding entries in the Activities, ActivityQualifiers and QualifierFormats array properties are applied incrementally and do not affect unnamed rights. If the property, PrivilegeGranted, is false, then the named rights are removed. If PrivilegeGranted is True, then the named rights are added. (Note that the RemoveAccess method SHOULD be used to completely remove all privileges between a subject and a target. On output, this property references an AuthorizedPrivilege instance that represents the resulting rights between the named Subject and the named Target. AuthorizedPrivilege instances used as a templates in this property SHOULD have a HostedDependency association to the PriviligeManagementService and SHOULD NOT have any AuthorizedTarget or AuthorizedSubject associations to it.

IN | boolean | true
OUT | boolean | true
Subject | REF CIM_ManagedElement
Description | string | The Subject parameter is a reference to a ManagedElement instance. This parameter MUST be supplied.
IN | boolean | true

Target | REF CIM_ManagedElement
Description | string | The Target parameter is a reference to an instance of ManagedElement. This parameter MUST be supplied.
IN | boolean | true

#### RemoveAccess (uint32)

#### Method Qualifiers (RemoveAccess)

Name | Data Type | Value
--- | --- | ---

Description

string

This method revokes a specific AuthorizedPrivilege or all privileges for a particular target, subject, or subject/target pair. If an AuthorizedPrivilege instance is left with no AuthorizedTarget associations, it SHOULD be deleted. The successful completion of the method SHALL remove the directly or indirectly requested AuthorizedSubject, AuthorizedTarget and AuthorizedPrivilege instances.

#### Method Parameters (RemoveAccess)

Name | Type | Qualifiers
--- | --- | ---
Name | Data Type | Value
Privilege | REF CIM_AuthorizedPrivilege
Description | string | A reference to the AuthorizedPrivilege to be revoked.
IN | boolean | true
Subject | REF CIM_ManagedElement
Description | string | The Subject parameter is a reference to a ManagedElement instance (associated via AuthorizedSubject) for which privileges are to be revoked.
IN | boolean | true
Target | REF CIM_ManagedElement
Description | string | The Target parameter is a reference to a ManagedElement (associated via AuthorizedTarget) which will no longer be protected via the AuthorizedPrivilege.
IN | boolean | true

#### ShowAccess (uint32)

#### Method Qualifiers (ShowAccess)

Name | Data Type | Value
--- | --- | ---

Description

string

ShowAccess reports the Privileges (i.e., rights) granted to a particular Subject and/or Target pair. Either a Subject, a Target or both MUST be specified. In the case where only one is specified, the method will return all rights to all Targets for the specified Subject, or all rights for all subjects which apply to the specified Target. ShowAccess returns the cumulative rights granted between the OutSubjects and OutTargets at the same array index (filtered to return the information that the requestor is authorized to view). If a specific array entry is NULL, then there exist NO rights that the requestor is authorized to view between the Subject/Target pair. Note that the Privileges returned by this method MAY NOT correspond to what is actually instantiated in the model, and MAY be optimized for ease of reporting. Hence, the data is passed 'by value', as embedded objects. Also, note that multiple Privileges MAY be defined for a given Subject/Target pair. Other mechanisms MAY also be used to retrieve this information. CIM Operations' EnumerateInstances MAY be used to return all Privileges currently instantiated within a namespace. Also, if the AuthorizedPrivilege subclass is instantiated, the CIM Operation Associators MAY be used to navigate from the Privilege to AuthorizedSubjects and AuthorizedTargets. These CIM Operations will not generally provide the functionality or optimizations available with ShowAccess.

Name | Data Type | Value
Privileges | string[]
ArrayType | string | Indexed
Description | string | The returned Privilege objects represent the cumulative rights granted between the OutSubjects and OutTargets at the same array index (filtered to return the information that the requestor is authorized to view). If a specific array entry is NULL, then there exist NO rights that the requestor is authorized to view between the Subject/Target pair.

Description | string | The array of Subject REFs corresponding to the individual Privileges and OutTargets arrays.

ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_PrivilegeManagementService.ShowAccess(Target), CIM_PrivilegeManagementService.ShowAccess(Privileges), CIM_PrivilegeManagementService.ShowAccess(OutSubjects)
OUT | boolean | true
Subject | REF CIM_ManagedElement

Description

string

The Subject parameter references an instance of ManagedElement. The result of this operation is that the cumulative rights of the Subject to access or define authorization rights for the Target will be reported. If no Subject is specified, then a Target MUST be supplied and ALL Subjects that have rights to access or define authorizations for the Target will be reported. (It should be noted that the information reported MUST be filtered by the rights of the requestor to view that data.) If the Subject element is a Collection, then the operation will specifically report the Privileges for all elements associated to the Collection via MemberOfCollection. These elements will be reported individually in the returned OutSubjects array.

IN | boolean | true
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_PrivilegeManagementService.ShowAccess(Target)
Target | REF CIM_ManagedElement

Description

string

The Target parameter references an instance of ManagedElement. The result of this operation is that the cumulative rights of the Subject to access or define authorization rights for the Target will be reported. If no Target is specified, then a Subject MUST be supplied and ALL Targets for which that the Subject has rights to access or define authorization will be reported. (It should be noted that the information reported MUST be filtered by the rights of the requestor to view that data.) If the Target element is a Collection, then the operation will be applied to all elements associated to the Collection via MemberOfCollection. These elements will be reported individually in the returned OutTargets array.
