Abstract: A system and method for authorization policy evaluation. Authorization policies are authored in a general-purpose authorization language. An evaluation engine is used in a provider network by application developers to manage access within their applications based on fine-grained permissions. The policy language combines elements of role-based and attributed-based access control within an intuitive syntax and efficient evaluation strategy. The policy syntax separates role-based expressions of a policy from attribute-based expressions of the policy.
