Embodiments of the present invention provide an efficient and scalable scheme for role-based access control to resources. The resources are assigned a protection class. Resources in the same protection class share the same access control policy. Permissions granted to various roles are then defined based on privilege sets and protection classes. Accordingly, the permissions of a role can be dynamically determined at runtime. Furthermore, as new resources are added, they can be assigned to a pre-existing protection class. The new resource may thus automatically inherit the various permissions and roles attached to the protection class.

System and method for role based access control in a content management system

A method and system employing an object-oriented approach to remotely controlling storage management services in a content management system. An Application Programming Interface (API) is used to communicate between a system administrator client and a resource manager, so that a system administrator can, e.g., start and stop services, check the status of services, etc. The API and resource manager exchange information, for example by exchanging XML documents by HTTP posting.
