- id - uuid, doesnt change
- extension - system name in the folder, shouldnt change
- display extension - display name in the folder, can change

- subjectIdentifier attribute - if the identifier of the entity is not valid for the extension (e.g. if it could contain a colon, or other invalid character in the grouper extension namespace), then you can put any fully qualified (including folder names) identifier here. Note, no two entities can have the same subjectIdentifier. Also, this attribute is public, meaning anyone can read (if they can VIEW the entity), or update it (if the can ADMIN the entity)
Entity subjects
Grouper entities have a subject source different than the grouper subject source (though similar). Since there is an optional subjectIdentifier attribute, queries for search or findByIdentifier will consider that value. Also, the following subject attributes exist in addition to the Group subject attributes (name, extension, displayName, description, etc) :
Attribute name | Meaning |
|---|---|
entityIdAttribute | if there is an entity id attribute assigned, this is the value |
entityId | if there is an entity id attribute assigned, it is used, if not, then this is the name attribute |
entityExtension | if there is an entity id attribute assigned, this is the suffix after the entity folder name and colon, if not, then this is the extension (not of attribute) |
