Abstract
A method of defining policies for controlling access to resources of a system. Authorization requirements for the system are modeled to obtain a model expressing each of a plurality of access control policies as a constraint. From the model is generated a single policy set in an authorization markup language that captures the requirements. This method can be used to define role-based access control policies in a format that can be adapted for input to a variety of access control mechanisms. This generative approach to access control design allows maintenance to be performed at the requirements level.
