Synopsis

otdfctl policy attributes namespaces

Description

A namespace is the root (parent) of a set of platform policy. Like an owner or an authority, it fully qualifies attributes and their values, resource mapping groups, etc. As the various mappings of a platform are to attributes or values, a namespace effectively "owns" the mappings as well (transitively if not directly).

In an attribute or other FQN (Fully Qualified Name), the namespace is found after the scheme: https://<namespace>

Namespaces, like other FQN'd objects, are normalized to lower case both on create and in a decision request lookup.

As the Namespace is the parent of policy, a namespace's existence is required to create attributes or resource mapping groups beneath.
