Abstract

This work aims to provide administrators with services for managing permissions in a distributed object system, by connecting business-level tasks to access controls on low level functions. Specifically, the techniques connect abilities (to complete externally- invoked functions) to the access controls on individual functions, across all servers. Our main results are the problem formalization, plus algorithms to synthesize “least privilege” permissions for a given set of desired abilities. Desirable extensions and numerous research issues are identified.
