5 Jan 2007TL;DR: The Custom Access Controller as mentioned in this paper adds a custom security hierarchy to the organizational data in the View Processor of WEBSPHERE Virtual Member Manager, which allows network administrators to create and modify custom security hierarchies.
Abstract: The Custom Access Controller adds a custom security hierarchy to the organizational data in the View Processor of WEBSPHERE Virtual Member Manager. Whenever an entity or application attempts to access a resources the access control engine starts the View Processor to identify the organizational data and assigned security policy for the resource. The assigned security policy is applied to a delegated administration path which is part of the delegated administration hierarchy but includes the appropriate path and security policy for the resource. The delegated administration path is sent to an access control engine that grants or denies access to the resource. A View Processor Interface allows network administrators to create and modify custom security hierarchies.

TL;DR: In this article, a server receives a request from a user to perform an operation with respect to one of the hosted resources, and the server determines whether the user has already been delegated authority to perform the operation.
Abstract: Systems and methods for delegating access to resources hosted in a distributed computing environment are described. In one aspect, a server hosts a set of resources. The server receives a request from a user to perform an operation with respect to one of the hosted resources. Responsive to receiving the request, the server determines whether the user has already been delegated authority to perform the operation. The delegated authority is independent of whether the user is a member of an administrators group associated with any resource of the server.
