  • Task-based access control in a virtualization environment
    Patent number: 8595824
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for task-based access control are provided. Example embodiments provide a task-based access control system “TBACS,” which provides task-based permissions management using proxy task objects. In one example embodiment, the proxy task objects encapsulate activities, comprising one or more privileges, each associated with an object upon which the privilege can act. In some examples, proxy task objects may be used with a virtualization infrastructure to delegate permissions to delegate users, real or automated. Proxy task objects may also be associated with their own user interfaces for performance of the corresponding activities.
