--------------------------------------------------------------
Role based access control to the AS7 management layer.
When defining an RBAC model, the following conventions are useful:
* S= Subject = A person or automated agent
* R = Role = Job function or title which defines an authority level
* P = Permissions = An approval of a mode of access to a resource
* SE = Session = A mapping involving S, R and/or P
*Generic Requirements*
* Provide a usable (in terms of complexity), yet comprehensive base model
* Provide a set of out-of-the-box roles & permissons that reflect common authorization
requirements
* Allow to customizations/extension of the default scheme (i.e custom permissions,
permission granularity)
* Provide the management operations to retrieve session information (i.e. roles assigned,
permissions granted, etc)
* Clearly distinguish security exceptions from other operation errors (i.e. custom
response headers)
* Mappability with existing authorisation schemes (i.e. JON)
*Specific Requirements*
+Provide an authorization scheme that distinguishes structural & behavioural
permission+:
* structural permissions: control access to resources (i.e. restrict visibility of server
groups)
* behavioural permission: control execution on resources (i.e. lock down certain
operations, distinguish read & read/write access)
*Use cases*
See
https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-47856 RBACUsecases*

*Advanced Topics*
- Context based access control: i.e. Taking the connection into consideratin
- Support for role hierarchies: i.e. structuring roles to reflect an organizations lines
of authority and responsibility
- Role constraints: i.e. mutual exclusive roles
- RBAC to manage RBAC itself
structuring roles to re ect an organiza tion s lines of authority and resp onsibility
