  • ACL
    A device setting's access control based on the OMA DM Access Control List (ACL) is not supported. Instead, Windows Mobile 2003 role-based access control is used.

    A DM server could remotely change this property.

  • Format
    This property is called datatype in the metabase. For more information, see Metabase Datatypes.
  • Type
    The MIME type of the nodes value. This property is called semantic-type in the metabase. For more information, see Metabase Semantic Types.
  • Name
    The name of the managed node in the tree.
  • Title
    A human-readable name. OMA DM does not support a localized label. When the server queries a label by using the OMA DM Title property, the label with the current UI language is returned. This property is called label in the metabase.
  • Options
    This is a Microsoft custom property. Managing Options over OMA DM is not supported.
  • MaxLength
    This is a Microsoft custom property that defines the maximum length of a leaf node chr value.
  • MaxValue
    This is a Microsoft custom property that defines the maximum value of a leaf node integer.
  • MinValue
    This is a Microsoft custom property that defines the minimum value of a leaf node integer.

  • Multiple
    This is a Microsoft custom property that defines whether the user can select multiple options.

    The following list shows the possible values:

    • 0 = the user is not allowed to select multiple options. This is the default.
    • 1 = the user can select multiple options.

  • RWAccess
    Defines read/write permissions. This property is called rw-access in the metabase.

    The following list shows the possible values:

    • 1 = The node is read only.
    • 2 = The node is write only
    • 3 = The node is read/write. This is the default
  • AccessRole
    Defines the access role for a node. This property is called access-role in the metabase. For information about the possible security roles and corresponding role values, see Security Roles.
