role.validate

Description

Validate field values from a role object.  Please see Validating Objects for an overview of how the validate method works.

Note that there are validations that are performed upon update or create that cannot be performed from the validate method.  Thus, even if validate returns TRUE, a create or update operation with the same values may still return an invalid object response.

Parameters

role

A partial role object, as described by the object.describe call.  If a field in the role object is ommitted, no validation will be peformed for that field.  If extra fields are passed, they will be ignored.

Response

TRUE is returned if all fields are valid, otherwise, an invalid object error object is returned.
