Federated role provisioning

摘要

In various embodiments, techniques for federated role provisioning are provided. A federated role definition for a resource is constructed and distributed. The federated role definition includes a role hierarchy having role assignments and constraints for dynamically resolving and binding a resource to particular ones of the role assignments. A resource may have role assignments statically bound to its identity and dynamically bound to its identity. Furthermore, some role assignments may be inherited from the role hierarchy.
