      *   chartOfAccountsCode = BL

      *   organizationCode = ARSC

      *   descendsHierarchy = true

      * the KFS organization hierarchy, so an implementation of this sort must be done by

      * a service which lives within KFS and will be called remotely by KIM.

      * The contents of the passed in attribute sets should not be modified as they may be used in future calls by

      * the role service.
