Table 18.5. Role properties
Field | Description |
---|---|
Class | Select Role. This lets your applications distinguish between groups, and roles. The server does not enforce the value of this property, and does not set the property to any value other than group. |
E-Mail Address | The email address of the role’s owner. If no value is entered, the email address defaults to the role name. |
Owner | The role owner can modify the role. |
Administrator | A user or group, in addition to a superuser or the role owner, who can modify the role. If this is null, only a superuser, and the role owner can modify the role. |
Private Group | Creates the role as a private role. Otherwise the role is a public role. By default, roles created by users with system administrator or superuser privileges are public, and roles created by users with a lower user privilege level are private. |
Create role as domain | If you create a role as a domain, it is listed on the groups list, not the roles list. |
Dynamic Group | Creates the role as a dynamic group. For more information on dynamic groups, see Group properties. |
