Abstract

In the field of access control, delegation is an important aspect that is considered as a part of the administration mechanism. Thus, a complete access control must provide a flexible administration model to manage delegation. Unfortunately, to our best knowledge, there is no complete model for describing all delegation requirements for role-based access control. Therefore, proposed models are often extended to consider new delegation characteristics, which is a complex task to manage and necessitate the redefinition of these models. In this paper we describe a new delegation approach for extended role-based access control models. We show that our approach is flexible and is sufficient to manage all delegation requirements.
