About the CommerceClaim Entity
The CommerceClaim entity represents individual pieces of information about the identity of a user (also called a claim) in Microsoft Commerce Server 2009 R2. Name, e-mail address, user role are examples of individual claims that comprise the identity of a user. All operations to query for claims are performed on the CommerceClaim entity.
The sample configuration below shows how the CommerceClaim entity is defined in metadata.
CommerceEntity name="CommerceClaim">
<DisplayName value="CommerceClaim"/>
<Authorization>

In Commerce Server 2009 R2, authorization rules have been applied to the CommerceClaim entity by default. These rules specify the operations to which authorization rules apply and the authorization rules that must be followed. For the CommerceClaim entity, only authorized identities in the CommerceQueryOperation_CommerceClaim role can perform query operations on the CommerceClaim entity. For more general information about configuring authorization rules for commerce entities, see Configuring Authorization for a Commerce Entity. Authorized identities are assigned to the CommerceQueryOperation_CommerceClaim role in the CommerceEntityAuthorizationStore.xml file using Authorization Manager (Azman). For more information, see Configuring the Authorization Policy for the CommerceClaim Entity.
