Abstract
Several types of roles are disclosed herein. The difference between the role types relates to their capabilities, which in turn derive from how they are implemented. When a client application whishes to identify all entries with some characteristic, e.g., everyone who is a manager and works in a designated building, a filtered role, which uses an LDAP filter in order to search a designated portion of the directory system and to identify those entries that possess the characteristics described in filter, is used.
