Process-aware information systems are used to execute business processes to reach the operational goals of an organization. In this context, access control policies are defined to govern the choice in behavior of such systems. In a role engineering process these access control policies can be defined and customized. This paper introduces a new automated approach to derive current state access control policies from event logs extracted from process-aware information systems. For this purpose, the two standard formats for event logs called MXML and XES are used. It is demonstrated how this derivation can ease certain steps in the scenario-driven role engineering process, that are otherwise time-consuming and can get tedious if conducted manually.
