    Description (
       "Privilege is the base class for all types of activities which "
       "are granted or denied by a Role or an Identity. Whether an "
       "individual Privilege is granted or denied is defined using the "
       "PrivilegeGranted boolean. Any Privileges not specifically "
       "granted are assumed to be denied. An explicit deny (Privilege "
       "Granted = FALSE) takes precedence over any granted Privileges. "
       "\n\n"
       "The association of subjects (Roles and Identities) to "
       "Privileges is accomplished using policy or explicitly via the "
       "associations on a subclass. The entities that are protected "
       "(targets) can be similarly defined. \n"
       "\n"
       "Note that Privileges may be inherited through hierarchical "
       "Roles, or may overlap. For example, a Privilege denying any "
       "instance Writes in a particular CIM Server Namespace would "
       "overlap with a Privilege defining specific access rights at an "
       "instance level within that Namespace. In this example, the "
       "AuthorizedSubjects are either Identities or Roles, and the "
       "AuthorizedTargets are a Namespace in the former case, and a "
       "particular instance in the latter.")]

          "Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID "
          "opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. "
          "In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the "
          "value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the "
          "following 'preferred' algorithm: \n"
          "<OrgID>:<LocalID> \n"
          "Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon ':', "
          "and where <OrgID> MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked "
          "or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business "
          "entity creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered "
          "ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized "
          "global authority. (This is similar to the <Schema "
          "Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In "
          "addition, to ensure uniqueness <OrgID> MUST NOT contain a "
          "colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to "
          "appear in InstanceID MUST appear between <OrgID> and "
          "<LocalID>. \n"
          "<LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not "
          "be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) "
          "elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, "
          "the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant "
          "InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced "
          "by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace. "
          "For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST "
          "be used with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.")]

          "properties that may or may not be accessed. In this case, "
          "the class names are specified with the property names to "
          "avoid ambiguity - since a CIM Service, Namespace or "
          "Collection could manage multiple classes. On the other "
          "hand, if the authorization target is an individual "
          "instance, then there is no possible ambiguity and the class "
