Abstract
Rather than defining roles in terms of those resources and/or actions pertaining to the resources that are permitted to subjects having that role, it has been found that by instead defining a role by negative permissions, i.e. those resources and/or actions related thereto that are not permitted to subjects in that role, the evolution of a system is more convenient to manage. In this way, the system is only required to track and update the denied resources for particular roles. It has also been recognized that by defining a role in terms of negative permissions, i.e. what subjects in that role cannot do, malicious users can be thwarted from creating false user accounts since selecting functions associated with the resources takes permissions away rather than adds them.
