Abstract
A system and method for providing delegated access control to a resource is provided. The method includes receiving a request to access the resource, where the request includes an access token and identifying a task to be performed on the resource. The access token identifies an access role associated with the user who makes the request. After receiving the request, a role-to-permissions map is used to identify permissions available for the access role. Based on the available permissions for the access role, it is determined whether the user is authorized to perform the task on the resource. When it is determined that the user is authorized to perform the task on the resource and the user has permission to access the resource managed by an object model, the user device of the user is permitted to access the resource to perform the task.
