CI relation types

| 1 | Name - How the relation is referred to, for example, “has access”, “hosts”, “manages”, “uses”, “has assigned”, etc. |
| 2 | Reverse relation name - How the relation will be called when the direction is reversed, for example, “contains in”, “is hosted on”, “is managed by”, etc. |
| 3 | Access/Permission - A checkbox that indicates that the relation grants access or permission to the CI type. |
