Control access features include the use of a number of validation rules and capabilities of a target as part of proving license control and revenue generating functionalities, but the embodiments are not so limited. An exemplary role-based computing architecture includes the use of feature to command mappings and one or more validation rules to determine if a target of a command has a proper set of capabilities as part of allowing the command to execute.

Control access features include the use of a number of validation rules and capabilities of a target as part of proving license control and revenue generating functionalities, but the embodiments are not so limited. An exemplary role-based computing architecture includes the use of feature to command mappings and one or more validation rules to determine if a target of a command has a proper set of capabilities as part of allowing the command to execute. A computing method of one embodiment operates to provide a validation mechanism that performs a validation evaluation as part of a scope check to ensure that a target command is within the command issuer's scope along with a validation rule check for a particular service feature.

Management roles in a role-based framework may be upgraded by updating existing management roles, updating derived roles, and deprecating or reducing existing and derived roles in the role-based framework. The existing management roles may include a set of existing role entries for defining an action using parameters, scripts, application program interface calls, and a special permission for enabling performance of tasks defined by the management roles. The derived roles may include custom… Show more
