Package com.vmware.vapi.metadata.privilege Description

The com.vmware.vapi.metadata.privilege package provides interfaces that expose privilege information for operation elements across all the service elements.

An entity has a unique identifier and a resource type. An entity can either be present in one of the parameter elements or if a parameter is a structure element, it could also be present in one of the field elements.

Privileges can be assigned to either operation elements or entities used in the operation element. A list of privileges can also be applied on a package element. This list of privileges would be used as a default for all the operation elements and the entities that do not have any defined privileges.
