Abstract Role

Last modified 16 Apr 2025 21:39 +02:00

In midPoint terminology, abstract role is any type of object that acts as a role. An abstract role can be used to give privileges to other objects.

The following object types are abstract roles in midPoint:

  • Role (RoleType)

  • Org (OrgType)

  • Service (ServiceType)

  • Archetype (ArchetypeType) - since midPoint 4.0

All these object types may act as roles:

  • They can cause provisioning of accounts or other resource objects.

  • They may contain other abstract roles.

  • They can form a platform for Policy Rules.

  • … and so on.

In simple technical terms, abstract role means that the object may contain an inducement.
