Abstract
A method and system for controlling access to a source application. The method comprises the steps of providing a controlling application, and binding the source application to the controlling application to allow the controlling application to change access to the source application. Information is passed from the source application to the controlling application to identify the source application and reference data to define access to the source application, and group and role definitions are constructed within the controlling application. An access definition is created by assigning a user access to the source application based on the group and role definitions and the reference data, and that access definition is exported to the source application.
