-  role: A Role can be assigned to zero or more Principals. A Principal assigned a Role receives all capabilities granted by any Direct Grant owned by the Role. A Role is deleted when the Scope it belongs to is deleted. All Direct Grants owned by a Role are deleted when the Role is deleted.
-  roles: A role is a collection of capabilities granted to any Principal the Role is assigned to. A Role belongs to one and only one Scope. A Role owns zero or more Direct Grants. The lifecycle of a Role is not tied to the lifecycle of any Principal.
-  grants: A grant represents a set of capabilities granted to a role. It couples a set of Actions to either a set of Resource Types or an individual Resource. A Direct Grant belongs exclusively to one and only one Role. However, equivalent Direct Grants may exist across different Roles. A Direct Grant references one or more Actions and either one or more Resource types or one specific Resource. A Direct Grant is deleted when the Role it belongs to is deleted. A Direct Grant is also deleted if it is associated with a specific Resource and that Resource itself is deleted. The lifecycle of a Direct Grant is not tied to the lifecycle of any Action or Resource Type.
-  principals: A principal is any entity which can be assigned capabilities. Principal is abstract. User, Group, and Project are concrete Principals. A Principal can be assigned to zero or more Roles.
   host-set: Host Set is abstract. A Host Set is deleted when the Host Catalog it belongs to is deleted.
   host-sets: A host set is a resource which provides a subset of Hosts from the set of Hosts of the Host Catalog it belongs to. A Host Set belongs to one and only one Host Catalog. A Host Set can contain zero or more Hosts. A Host Set can be contained by zero or more Targets. The lifecycle of a Host Set is not tied to the lifecycle of any Targets or Hosts.
   host: Host is abstract. A Host is deleted when the Host Catalog it belongs to is deleted.
