string
inheritedVersion
Optional

To be used when creating a new version of a defined entity type. Specifies the version of the type that will be the template for the authorization configuration of a the new version. The Type ACLs and the access requirements of the Type Behaviors of the new version will be copied from those of the inherited version.

string
externalId
Optional

An external entity's id that this definition may apply to.

The JSON-Schema valid definition of the defined entity type. If no JSON Schema version is specified, version 4 will be assumed.

string
maxImplicitRight
Optional

The maximum Type Right level that will be implied from the user's Type ACLs if this field is defined.

The valid values are "urn:vcloud:accessLevel:ReadOnly", "urn:vcloud:accessLevel:ReadWrite", "urn:vcloud:accessLevel:FullControl".
