Abstract
A system architecture and algorithm for automatically generating, installing and enforcing access control policies that correspond to an agreed specification of collaboration. A collaboration member enforces its access control policies using a dedicated access controller separate from a workflow engine. In one embodiment, each access control policy contains extensions which can direct an access controller to selectively enable or disable various access control policies upon authorization of an access request.
