Abstract

Most of DBMS adopt Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model. Administrative Role-Based Access Control (ARBAC) model intends to decentralize authority management with plural security administrators. They have their work range on the role hierarchy. One problem with this is that legal modification of a role hierarchy may induce unexpected side effects. The Role-Role Assignment 97 (RRA97) model introduced some geometry-based integrity principles to prevent unexpected side effects. They are complex and ambiguous. We analyze the reasons of shortcoming of RRA97 model, and introduce a new concept of authority range for flexible management of role hierarchy.
