METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DELIVERING ROLE-APPROPRIATE POLICIES

摘要

A method of delivering role-appropriate policies. A policy management utility registers a policy in a policy directory that includes a pointer corresponding to a data storage location of the policy and metadata corresponding to the policy. The policy management utility stores the metadata and the pointer in the policy directory, which includes references to policy sources and policy artifacts that correspond to the policy sources. When a user requests information related to a policy, the policy management utility matches the role of the requestor with one of multiple pre-defined corporate roles stored in the policy directory. The policy management utility generates a role-appropriate view in a graphical user interface (GUI). The role-appropriate view corresponds to the role of the requester. The policy management utility provides information related to the policy request within the role-appropriate view.
