... RBAC96 ROLE HIERARCHIES USER-ROLE ASSIGNMENT PERMISSION-ROLE ASSIGNMENT USERS ROLES PERMISSIONS SESSIONS CONSTRAINTS
ROLE HIERARCHIES • Inheritance hierarchies • permission inheritance • user inheritance • Activation hierarchies • role membership versus role activation
EXAMPLE ROLE HIERARCHYINTERPRETATIONS 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)
ALTERNATIVES • separate inheritance and activation hierarchies • this paper • single inheritance and activation hierarchy • most common approach, including RBAC96 • activation hierarchy only, no inheritance • alternative identified in NIST RBAC model • inheritance hierarchy only, no activation hierarchy • does not seem to be useful

DYNAMIC SEPARATION OF DUTIES • Roles in dynamic SOD • cannot have common seniors in role inheritance hierarchy, but • can have common seniors in role activation hierarchy
