Abstract
Methods, systems and computer readable media for granting class level trust in an open application programming interface (API) system is disclosed. The method includes defining a common information model (CIM) architecture, and the CIM architecture is configured with a CIM object manager (CIMOM) for managing client requests made through APIs. The APIs are handled by the CIMOM and the CIMOM accesses schemas that include one or more classes. The method includes applying trust level settings to particular ones of the one or more classes of the schemas, and the trust level settings define client permissions to the particular classes. The method further includes hiding the particular classes to clients that lack a trust level sufficient to access the particular classes. Clients that lack the trust level are serviced with classes that do not have the applied trust level settings.
