Role Based Access Control
13
CPAN Lattice-Based Access Control Example
lWE::Util::Permissions
lUses a single file of permission rules queried via a Perl interface
lUser or group matches rules which link operations to matched objects
lIn the terminology of the author, operations are "processes", objects are "pages“
lPart of a wider web file editing framework
lI wrote a very similar authorisation handler in C for the Open University many years ago although Perl's obviously much better at tokenising text files and handling data!
