Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for receiving, by an AMS, a policy definition file defining policies to be enforced during execution of an instance of an application within the cloud platform, providing, by the AMS, an enhanced policy definition file indicating authorizations for roles for a policy of the policy definition file, providing an authentication bundle for execution of policy decisions at the instance, the authentication bundle provided based on the enhanced policy definition file, the authentication bundle distributed to application containers within the cloud platform, and during execution of the instance: transmitting, by the instance, an authorization request from the instance to an ADC, the ADC including an OPA and being executed within the container and executing policy decisions based on the authentication bundle, receiving, by the instance, a policy decision from the ADC and enforcing the policy based on the policy decision.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for providing declarative authorizations for SQL data manipulation. One computer-implemented method includes defining a data access model by: defining at least one aspect to be used as an authorization-relevant attribute for a resource entity, defining a path definition from the resource entity to the at least one aspect to relate the at least one aspect to the resource entity the authorization is restricted on, defining at least one restriction for the at least one aspect as part of the path definition, wherein defining the at least one restriction includes determining which constraint condition are to be used and how the constraint conditions are to be combined, and defining/assigning a role to a user, the role defining authorization to the resource entity using, at least in part, the at least one aspect, and deploying a data control language document.
