METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SELECTIVELY DEFINED ACCESS OF USER TO COMPUTER SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a method and system of defining the access of a user to a computer system. One of more attributes are assigned to the users of a computer system (5) and are stored in a data table (11, 13, 14). Each attribute has a name which designates the feature to which access is being defined, (the competence for access to data within the database).and a value defining the limits of access. The attributes may be assigned in groups to eliminate the burden of preparing attribute assignments one by one for each user. When the application is run, the attributes are retrieved and enforced such that the user's access to the features of the application is defined in accordance with the retrieved attributes.
