Abstract
Embodiments of the invention described herein are directed to a mechanism for determining whether at least one operation will be effective in view of at least one security policy. In exemplary implementations, determining whether at least one operation will be effective in view of at least one security policy may comprise determining a merged security policy for a computer system by merging security policies for the computer system from two or more sources. The security policies may be security policies set by a user and/or an administrator of the computer system, may be security policies of a computer network to which the computer system is connected, or may be security policies of one or more other computer systems that are above the computer system in a computer network hierarchy.
