Object
rbsCollection
Description
A container object that holds all RBS Role and Module objects.
rbsCollection objects are the uppermost containers for all RBS objects. A tree
can have any number of rbsCollection objects. These objects have owners,
which are users who have management rights over the collection.
rbsCollection objects can be created in any of the following containers:
• Country
• Domain
• Locality
• Organization
• Organizational Unit
rbsRole
Defining a role includes creating an rbsRole object and specifying the tasks that
the role can perform.
rbsRoles are container objects that can be created only in an rbsCollection
container.
Role members can be Users, Groups, Organizations, Organization Roles, or
Organizational Units, and role members are associated to a role in a specific
scope of the tree. The rbsTask and rbsBook objects are assigned to rbsRole
objects.
rbsTask
rbsBook
(aka Property
Book)
rbsScope
A leaf object that holds a specific function, such as resetting login passwords.
rbsTask objects are located only in rbsModule containers.
A book is a leaf object that displays a group of pages that allow a user to view or
modify the properties of an object or set of objects of the same type. Each page
of the book has a tab that you click, to view a different page.
A book object resides only in rbsModule containers and can be assigned to one
or more roles and to one or more object class types.
A leaf object used for ACL assignments (instead of making assignments for each
User object). rbsScope objects represent the context in the tree where a role is
performed and are associated with rbsRole objects. They inherit from the Group
class. User objects are assigned to an rbsScope object. These objects have a
reference to the scope of the tree that they are associated with.
The objects are dynamically created when needed, then automatically deleted
when no longer needed. They are located only in rbsRole containers.
WARNING: Never change the configuration of an rbsScope object. Doing so has
serious consequences and could possibly break the system.
rbs Module
Represents a container object that holds rbsTask and rbsBook objects.
rbsModule objects have a module name attribute that represents the name of the
product that defines the tasks or books (for example, eDirectory Maintenance
Utilities, NMAS Management, or Novell Certificate Server Access).
rbsModule objects can be created only in rbsCollection containers.
