All Business Operations entities are structured as follows:

`entity`:

- `UID` <font color="#704ae0">string</font> <font color="#01a0af">read-only</font>: The unique identifier of the business operation
- `SingularName` <font color="#704ae0">string</font> <font color="#01a0af">read-only</font>: The name of the operation in singular form. This value is useful for displaying in entity properties dialogs.
- `PluralName` <font color="#704ae0">string</font> <font color="#01a0af">read-only</font>: The name of the operation in plural form. This value is useful for displaying in user and role properties dialogs.
- `FullName` <font color="#704ae0">string</font> <font color="#01a0af">read-only</font>: The name of the current operation along with its parent operations (if any). Since many operation names aren't unique, this value is useful for differentiating similar business operations.
- `TargetEntity` <font color="#704ae0">EntityType</font> <font color="#01a0af">read-only</font>: The [EntityType Enumeration (2022/06)](docId\:Qnu0TDke-zAnbMMICY6rx)
- `Parent` <font color="#704ae0">BusinessOperation</font> <font color="#01a0af">read-only</font>: An operation instance indicating the operation from which permissions are inherited. This value will be "null" if there is no parent operation.
- `Descendants` <font color="#704ae0">BusinessOperation[]</font> <font color="#01a0af">read-only</font>: An array of operation instances that inherit permissions from this operation. This value is "null" if there are no descendant operations.
- `Permissions` <font color="#704ae0">Permission[]</font> <font color="#01a0af">read-only</font>: The permissions entity associated with this operation. See the [Permission Entity (2022/06)](docId\:JWfyMC42cdRG5jY2SkYsU).
-  `Appliance` <font color="#704ae0">OperationAppliance</font> read-only: 
  - `Instance` <font color="#01a0af">read-only</font>: Indicates that given business operation applies to specific entity instances. It is visible in the "Security" section of the Properties Panel.
  - `Collection` <font color="#01a0af">read-only</font>: Indicates that given business operation applies to collections of entities, in the entire network and associated folders. It is visible in the "Permissions" page and folder Properties Panel.
  - `Unknown` <font color="#01a0af">read-only</font>: Included for forward compatibility
