• PluralName string read-only: The name of the operation in plural form. This value is useful for displaying in user and role properties dialogs.

• FullName string read-only:  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.
