  • Automatic generation of policies and roles for role based access control
    Patent number: 8042150
    Abstract: A method (400) of automatically generating policies and/or roles for role based access (RBAC). The method can include presenting a policy or policy generation table (300) identifying scripts (304) and roles (302) to which the scripts correspond to an operator, and receiving at least one operator input selecting a plurality of desired scripts to be associated with a desired policy or role. The method also can include parsing the scripts to identify corresponding verb-switches (204), and comparing the parsed verb-switches to existing policies or roles (114). When there is at least one of the parsed verb-switches that does not correspond to at least one existing policy, the parsed verb-switch that does not correspond to at least one existing policy can be identified and a policy (106) that includes the identified verb-switch can be generated.
