Abstract: Aspects extend to methods, systems, and computer program products for controlling performance of a requested user operation. It is determined if a requested user operation can access data on behalf of a user based on an obtained user context associated with the user. The user context identifies the location of an object representing a user relative to other objects within a hierarchical data structure. The context is used to derive a role for the user. A control expression is accessed. The control expression governs access of the requested user operation for the derived role. A set of permissions is formed for the user by evaluating the control expression using the user context and a data context for the data. The user's authorization to perform the requested user operation is determined from the set of permissions. The requested user operation is performed according to the determined user's authorization.

Abstract: Data driven role based security is provided. At login, the system queries for a data context in connection with access to computing objects of a computing system. When a request for access to computing objects is received by the computing system, one or more control expressions specified for the computing object being accessed are evaluated. The evaluation of the control expressions may reference the user context or the data context previously established, and returns a set of effective permissions. Access to the computing object is then granted if the set of permissions includes an appropriate permission for the request for access.
