Resource
Resource is base type for FIM resources. The Resource type should never be instantiated. All of the resource types in FIM have the same attribute bindings as the Resource type by default. For more information, see Forefront Identity Manager Schema.

Properties
The following table lists the properties of Resource.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
CreatedTime |
Required dateTime property. Indicates when the resource was created. This property is a system property; user cannot update this value. |
Creator |
Optional property. Reference to a resource that created the resource. This property is a system property; user cannot update this value. |
DeletedTime |
(This property is not used.) |
Description |
Optional String property. Description for the resource instance. The String length must be no more than 448 characters. |
DetectedRulesList |
Optional multi-valued Reference property. Each DetectedRulesList value indicates the current state of the resource in a connected system (a system connected to FIM by means of a management agent). This property is a system property; user cannot update this value. |
DisplayName |
Optional String property. Resource display name. The String length must be no more than 448 characters. |
ExpectedRulesList |
Optional multi-valued property. Reference to an ExpectedRuleEntry resource. This property is a system property; user cannot update this value. |
ExpirationTime |
Optional dateTime property. Indicates when the resource instance should expire. It is up to administrators to define management policies associated with the expiration of groups and other resources. |
Locale |
Optional String property. This property is used to indicate what language the resource is in. When this is set to a certain language, FIM will return localizable properties on the resource in that language, if available. If the property is not available in the language represented by the Locale value, the default English value of the property will be returned. See SupportedLocaleInformation. The String length must be no more than 448 characters. |
MVObjectID |
Indicates the unique identifier associated with this resource in the FIM Synchronization Service database (metaverse). |
ObjectID |
Optional Reference property. Unique identifier for the resource. This property is a system property; user cannot update this value. |
ObjectType |
Required String property. Resource type of a given instance. This property is a system property; user cannot update this value. This resource is not exposed as a property on the wire. |
ResourceTime |
Optional DateTime property. The date and time of a representation of a resource. |
Parent Elements
None
Example
Description
The following is an example of a schema that defines a resource that extends Resource. It defines a new object “TestObjectType” by adding a string called “TestString”.
