Abstract:
Provided are techniques for receiving, from a user, a first Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) request for access to a resource; correlating the first RBAC request to a first originating host device; mapping an ID corresponding to the user, the first originating host device and the resource to a first role; generating, based upon the first role, a first set of permissions corresponding to the resource; and enabling to the user to access the resource from the first originating host device in conformity with the first set of permissions. In addition to ID, host and resource, a communication medium may be factored into the mapping.
