Engineering Administrative Units Role Graph 3. Iterate the process until all roles are partitioned into Administrative Units. 1. Use role hierarchy to discover senior and junior roles. “Senior-most” roles “Junior-most” roles 2.Separate senior-most and junior-most roles from role graph & define Administrative Units with these roles.

Conclusion Uni-ARBAC unifies different role administrative principles into a single model. It addresses different concerns raised in the literatures of role-based administration.
