Abstract

Usually, add-on security packages implement and manage access control via 'profiles', where a profile defines a set of users or resources. This paper discusses the concept of a 'role profile', where such a profile is linked to a specific (business) role in a company. A four-layered model is introduced which provides a framework for implementing the role-oriented approach in a company.
