Get Category Id
Fetches the category information for the given category identifier. In order to view the category information, you need the read privilege on the category.
The identifier of the input category. The parameter must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.cis.tagging.Category.
The CategoryModel that corresponds to categoryId.

}The unique identifier of the category. When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.cis.tagging.Category. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.cis.tagging.Category.
The display name of the category.
The description of the category.
The CategoryModel.Cardinality enumerated type defines the number of tags in a category that can be assigned to an object.
SINGLE : An object can only be assigned one of the tags in this category. For example, if a category is "Operating System", then different tags of this category would be "Windows", "Linux", and so on. In this case a VM object can be assigned only one of these tags and hence the cardinality of the associated category here is single.
MULTIPLE : An object can be assigned several of the tags in this category. For example, if a category is "Server", then different tags of this category would be "AppServer", "DatabaseServer" and so on. In this case a VM object can be assigned more than one of the above tags and hence the cardinality of the associated category here is multiple.
The types of objects that the tags in this category can be attached to. If the set is empty, then tags can be attached to all types of objects. This field works only for objects that reside in Inventory Service (IS). For non IS objects, this check is not performed today and hence a tag can be attached to any non IS object.
The set of users that can use this category. To add users to this, you need to have the edit privilege on the category. Similarly, to unsubscribe from this category, you need the edit privilege on the category. You should not modify other users subscription from this set.
com.vmware.vapi.std.errors.unauthorized : if you do not have the privilege to read the category.

}Stack of one or more localizable messages for human error consumers. The message at the top of the stack (first in the list) describes the error from the perspective of the operation the client invoked.
Each subsequent message in the stack describes the "cause" of the prior message.
Data to facilitate clients responding to the operation reporting a standard error to indicating that it was unable to complete successfully. Operations may provide data that clients can use when responding to errors. Since the data that clients need may be specific to the context of the operation reporting the error, different operations that report the same error may provide different data in the error. The documentation for each each operation will describe what, if any, data it provides for each error it reports.
The ArgumentLocations, FileLocations, and TransientIndication structures are intended as possible values for this field. DynamicID may also be useful as a value for this field (although that is not its primary purpose). Some services may provide their own specific structures for use as the value of this field when reporting errors from their operations.
Some operations will not set this field when reporting errors.
Enumeration of all standard errors. Used as discriminator in protocols that have no standard means for transporting the error type, e.g. REST.
