Abstract

In the article we present a data model and a possible implementation suited to allow proper access control in a system. In order to do that, we started from the extended RBAC model which is focused on roles which are associated to different functions existing in the system. The access control is implemented not just for some application’s functionalities but also for granulated data details, like data attributes.
