    Description (
       "The Role object class is used to represent a position or set "
       "of responsibilities within an organization, organizational "
       "unit or other scope, and MAY be filled by a person or persons "
       "(or non-human entities represented by ManagedSystemElement "
       "subclasses) - i.e., the 'role occupants'. The latter MAY be "
       "explicitly associated to a Role, by associating Identities "
       "using MemberOfCollection. The 'position or set of "
       "responsibilities' of a Role are represented as a set of rights "
       "defined by instances of the Privilege class, and are also "
       "associated to the Role via MemberOfCollection. If Identities "
       "are not explicitly associated, instances of AuthorizationRule "
       "MUST be associated with a Role using "
       "AuthorizationRuleAppliesToRole. The rule defines how subject "
       "entities are authorized for a Role and to which target "
       "entities the Role applies. \n"
       "\n"
       "The Role class is defined so as to incorporate commonly-used "
       "LDAP attributes to permit implementations to easily derive "
       "this information from LDAP-accessible directories. This "
       "class's properties are a subset of a related class, "
       "OtherRoleInformation, which defines all the group properties "
       "and uses arrays for directory compatibility.")]
