A Methodology for Managing Roles in Legacy Systems

Role-based access control (RBAC) is well accepted as a good
technology for managing and designing access control in systems
with many users and many objects. Much of the research
on RBAC has been done in an environment isolated
from real systems which need to be managed. In this paper,
we propose a methodology for using an RBAC design
tool we have developed, to manage and effect changes to an
underlying relational database. We also discuss how to simulate
the role graph model on a Unix system, and extend
the methodology just described for relational databases to
managing a Unix system when changes are made to the role
graph.
