  com.softwareag.mdm.service.Profile

Direct Known Subclasses:

Role, UserReference

public abstract class Profile

extends Object

Identifies a user profile for permissions management. Profiles are of three types:

• A built-in role gives generic permissions in the tool.
• A specific role is defined by a specific instance of Directory. For example, product manager, accountant.
• A user reference identifies a specific user via its login.

The relationship between each user and the roles he has is defined by the method DirectoryHandler.isProfileIncluded(Profile, Profile).
