  10. SCALE AND RATE OF CHANGE • roles: 100s or 1000s • users: 1000s or 10,000s or more • Frequent changes to • user-role assignment • permission-role assignment • Less frequent changes for • role hierarchy

  11. ADMINISTRATIVE RBAC • user-role assignment • permission-role assignment • role-role hierarchy

  12. EXAMPLE ROLE HIERARCHY Director (DIR) Project Lead 1 (PL1) Project Lead 2 (PL2) Production 1 (P1) Quality 1 (Q1) Production 2 (P2) Quality 2 (Q2) Engineer 1 (E1) Engineer 2 (E2) Engineering Department (ED) PROJECT 1 PROJECT 2 Employee (E)

  13. EXAMPLE ADMINISTRATIVE ROLE HIERARCHY Senior Security Officer (SSO) Department Security Officer (DSO) Project Security Officer 1 (PSO1) Project Security Officer 2 (PSO2)

  14. URA97 GRANT MODEL:can-assign ARole Prereq Role Role Range PSO1 ED [E1,PL1) PSO2 ED [E2,PL2) DSO ED (ED,DIR) SSO E [ED,ED] SSO ED (ED,DIR]

  15. URA97 GRANT MODEL :can-assign ARole Prereq Cond Role Range PSO1 ED [E1,E1] PSO1 ED & ¬ P1 [Q1,Q1] PSO1 ED & ¬ Q1 [P1,P1] PSO2 ED [E2,E2] PSO2 ED & ¬ P2 [Q2,Q2] PSO2 ED & ¬ Q2 [P2,P2]

  16. URA97 GRANT MODEL • “redundant” assignments to senior and junior roles • are allowed • are useful

  17. URA97 REVOKE MODEL • WEAK REVOCATION • revokes explicit membership in a role • independent of who did the assignment

  18. URA97 REVOKE MODEL • STRONG REVOCATION • revokes explicit membership in a role and its seniors • authorized only if corresponding weak revokes are authorized • alternatives • all-or-nothing • revoke within range

  19. URA97 REVOKE MODEL :can-revoke ARole Role Range PSO1 [E1,PL1) PSO2 [E2,PL2) DSO (ED,DIR) SSO [ED,DIR]

  20. ORACLE ROLES • support RBAC1 • administrative model has strong discretionary flavor • administrative authority on role implies • can grant role to any user or role • can grant role to any role • anyone with grant option on a permission can grant it to any role

  21. URA97 IN ORACLE • administrative option for all roles is retained solely with DBA • never given to any user • use generic stored procedures with URA97 can-assign and can-revoke implemented as relations

  22. URA97 IN ORACLE • Oracle primitives for traversing role hierarchy need to be extended

  23. can-assign in dnfER DIAGRAM CAN_ASSIGN CAN_ASSIGN2 Admin Role PreCondition Min_Int Min Role Max Role Max_Int PreCondition AND set name NOT set name CAN_ASSIGN4 CAN_ASSIGN3 AND set name AND roles NOT set name NOT roles

  24. can-revokeRELATION CAN_REVOKE Admin Role Min_Int Min Role Max Role Max_Int

  25. ORACLE STORED PROCEDURES • can extend Oracle access control model • limitation • stored procedure can determine who the user is BUT • cannot determine active roles of the user

  26. URA97 STORED PROCEDURES • ASSIGN(user, trole, arole) • WEAK_REVOKE(user, trole, arole) • STRONG_REVOKE(user, trole, arole) • user: user being added to trole • trole: target role • arole: administrative role used for this operation • due to Oracle limitations

  27. CLOSING REMARKS:PREVIEW OF WORK IN PROGRESS • user-role assignment • URA97 and Oracle, this paper • other platforms • permission-role assignment • PRA97, dual of URA97 • Oracle implementation

  28. CLOSING REMARKS:PREVIEW OF WORK IN PROGRESS • role-role hierarchy • user-only roles (groups): like URA97 • permission-only roles: like PRA97 • user and permission roles: RRA97
