A role-based authorization management system maintains an authorization policy store that represents user authorizations to perform operations associated with an application. When a user attempts to perform a function associated with an application, the authorization management system verifies that the user is authorized to perform the requested function. The authorization management system also provides an interface for an application administrator to update role-based user authorization policies associated with one or more applications.

A process identifies one or more roles associated with a target server. The process also identifies one or more services associated with each role and identifies one or more ports associated with each role. The identified ports associated with the role are presented to a user. The user is requested to select among the identified ports associated with the role.
