|
|
<p>Role-based authorization is a conceptual complement to the group-based
|
|
authorization, and is useful in some cases. As a member of a role, you have
|
|
the authority to do what is needed for the role in order to accomplish a job.
|
|
Unlike a group, a role comes with an implicit set of permissions. There is
|
|
not a built-in assumption about what permissions are gained (or lost) by being
|
|
a member of a group.</p>
|
|
<p>Roles are similar to groups in that they are represented in the directory
|
|
by an object. Additionally, roles contain a group of DNs. Roles which are
|
|
to be used in access control must have an objectclass of 'AccessRole'. The
|
|
'Accessrole' objectclass is a subclass of the 'GroupOfNames' objectclass.</p>
|
|
<p>For example, if there are a collection of DNs such as 'sys admin', your
|
|
first reaction might be to think of them as the 'sys admin group' (since groups
|
|
and users are the most familiar types of privilege attributes). However, since
|
|
there are a set of permissions that you would expect to receive as a member
|
|
of 'sys admin' the collection of DNs can be more accurately defined as the
|
|
'sys admin role'.</p>
