Identity is an abstract class for objects that identify a person or group of people.
The following list of associations is used to determine if this object should inherit access controls from another object (inheritance), or if the association is allowed for the object (enforcement). An association will not be created unless the calling user is authorized to update one or both objects involved in the association. For more information about inheritance and enforcement rules, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.

DisplayName
Type: String 256
This new field is expected to contain the name of the person or group as it should be displayed in GUIs. In enterprise installations, this would be a first and last name with a middle initial potentially added in the middle. There will be no constraints on the field other than size. It is possible that the display name not be populated at all or that three people have the same display name. (The Name field is still required to be unique on the server.)
GUIs that display a Person or IdentityGroup (or Role) should use the DisplayName to identify the user in the list of users. If a particular Person or IdentityGroup does not have a DisplayName, then the Name attribute should be used.
