getPropagationBlockedRoleTypes

java.util.SortedSet<RoleType> getPropagationBlockedRoleTypes()

Returns those role types the resource blocks for propagation (i.e. child resources will not inherit these role types).

Returns:

Read-only List of RoleType objects representing the role types blocked for propagation, never null.

getInheritanceBlockedRoleTypes

java.util.SortedSet<RoleType> getInheritanceBlockedRoleTypes()

Returns those role types the resource blocks for inheritance (i.e. the resource will not inherit these role types from a parent resource).

Returns:

Read-only List of RoleType objects representing the role types blocked for inheritance, never null.
