20100251187LOCALIZED INFORMATION-PRESERVING LEVELS IN MODEL VISUALIZATION - Local areas of a visualized modeling language diagram are viewable at different levels of detail without losing information such as model elements and their connectivity. Multiple elements are associated with a group element, which has a visual portion derived from the appearance of a group member element. Connectors between group member elements and non-member elements are suppressed in favor of replacement connectors between the group element and the non-member element(s). The integrity of incoming and outgoing connections to the group is maintained relative to the rest of the model. Ungrouping elements restores the elements to their original state. Grouping can be applied locally to one or more parts of the visual model.09-30-2010

20100306008EXTENSIBLE ROLE-BASED ACCESS CONTROL MODEL FOR SERVICES - Architecture removes the limitation of a fixed set of roles and scopes, allows more effective permission auditing, and provides a convenient delegation model. Administrators can create roles fine-tuned to business needs without changing permissions on the resources. The new roles can be easily examined and delegated to other administrators. Moreover, scoping and delegation is simplified. This is possible because permissions are granted as a role (a unit of permission assignment is a role), which can include multiple entries. The entries correspond to end-user actions and are not related to implementation-dependent resource rights. The actions can include web services or API calls, script or executable file names, specialized commands that implement particular operation, and associated parameters, etc., essentially any action that the end-user performs.12-02-2010
20100306817DELEGATION MODEL FOR ROLE-BASED ACCESS CONTROL ADMINISTRATION - Role-based security architecture that facilitates delegated role assignments where role functionality is monotonically decreasing. In furtherance thereof decreasing monotonicity roles are arranged in a hierarchy. Moreover, delegated roles can be obtained by creating a derived role (from a parent role) and removing entries from the derived role to decrease the permissions for the derived role. Delegated role assignments are scoped (bounded), which automatically applies a given scope to the assignment created by the user receiving the delegation.12-02-2010
20100325160EXCLUSIVE SCOPE MODEL FOR ROLE-BASED ACCESS CONTROL ADMINISTRATION - Architecture that creates a class of role-based scopes that can be declared “exclusive”, which automatically means that no user can access the scope unless the user is granted that exact scope. The exclusive scope excludes an object from the new scopes and existing scopes. In other words, the exclusive scope is a write restriction from a domain scope. The exclusive scope denies user access unless the user is granted the exclusive scope. The exclusive scope can be applied to a group of user objects. The exclusive scope is explicitly assigned to the object to grant access to an exclusive group. Moreover, the exclusive scope is immediately write-protected upon creation.12-23-2010
20100325684ROLE-BASED SECURITY FOR MESSAGING ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT - A role-based access control (RBAC) for the administration of complex services, such as for messaging. The RBAC architecture facilitates the creation of a role mechanism that describes any end-user, administrator, or partner action, of a set of scopes that address all populations, and a single authorization mechanism to handle role assignments through various mechanisms. Moreover, role and scope concepts are provided that universally apply to various management scenarios. A common set of primitives is defined that represent actions of enterprise and tenant end-users, partners, tenant administrators, datacenter administrators, and enterprise administrators. The primitives can include actions, action parameters, and API calls. Additionally, a set of scopes is defined that include self-relative scopes for end-users and tenants, and, absolute and filter-based scopes for administrators.12-23-2010
20100325724SCOPE MODEL FOR ROLE-BASED ACCESS CONTROL ADMINISTRATION - Architecture that provides centrally located role-based administration where role assignments that are used to calculate scopes for each operation and create a filtered request that only returns objects that the user is allowed to manage. No access checks are needed. The architecture addresses the proliferation of scope definitions by at least creating a set of relative scopes such as that can generically apply to multiple users at once. More specifically, self-relative scopes and absolute scopes are provided.12-23-2010
