Attributes

Attributes are descriptive properties of resources. This can be a name or a Yes/No flag or whatever information is applicable to the resource. When you add or modify a resource, a list of attributes that can be applied to the resource appears.

Some attributes are required for all resources of a particular type. For example, for people resources, the following attributes are required:

First Name, Last Name, Name (typically first and last together): The user's name

For more information, see the section "Resource Management Attributes".

Required attributes

Most attributes are optional but a few are required. Each resource must have an ID attribute. This ID (sometimes called the RMID) must be unique throughout the entire Resource Management system. When you work with Lawson Security and Resource Management Administrator screens, you can recognize required attributes because they have a different colored background.
