Abstract
Systems and methods are presented for dynamically controlling role-based access to enterprise applications. The access includes both a user's ability to access a requested functionality (hereinafter referred to as 'features') in an enterprise applications, as well as the user's ability to access the specific data (and request filtering of the data) within the enterprise applications. The systems and methods provide dynamic control by utilizing a number of separate tables for identifying each element (user, role and feature), with join-tables used to define, on an active/customized basis, the association of each user with respect to a particular role (user_role join-table) and association of each feature with the listing of roles (feature_role join-table). The join-tables and specific element tables may be modified during runtime to modify any of the associations or listings.
