Access Delegation System

An Access Delegation System is an access control system that enables access right owners to grant delegated access permissions to delegate users under delegation constraints.

• AKA: Delegation System, Access Sharing System, Permission Delegation System.
• Context:
  • It can typically implement Access Delegation Policy defining access delegation rules.
  • It can typically grant Access Delegation Permissions with access delegation scopes.
  • It can typically enforce Access Delegation Constraints including access delegation time limits.
  • It can typically maintain Access Delegation Audit Trails for access delegation accountability.
  • It can typically support Access Delegation Revocation by access delegation grantors.
  • ...
  • It can often enable Access Delegation Workflows requiring access delegation approvals.
  • It can often provide Access Delegation Notifications to access delegation stakeholders.
  • It can often implement Access Delegation Hierarchys with access delegation levels.
  • It can often support Access Delegation Templates for access delegation standardization.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Access Delegation System to being a Complex Access Delegation System, depending on its access delegation feature set.
  • It can range from being a Temporary Access Delegation System to being a Permanent Access Delegation System, depending on its access delegation duration model.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Identity Management Systems for access delegation user verification.
  • It can interface with Audit Systems for access delegation tracking.
  • It can connect to Policy Engines for access delegation rule evaluation.
  • It can work with Notification Services for access delegation alerts.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Application Access Delegation Systems, such as:
    • Cloud Access Delegation Systems, such as:
      • AWS IAM Role Delegation enabling access delegation cross-account access.
      • Google Workspace Delegation allowing access delegation email management.
    • Database Access Delegation Systems, such as:
      • SQL GRANT System providing access delegation table permissions.
      • MongoDB Role Delegation supporting access delegation collection access.
  • Emergency Access Delegation Systems, such as:
    • Digital Estate Access Delegations, such as:
      • Emergency Access System granting access delegation posthumous permissions.
      • Incapacity Access Delegation enabling access delegation medical scenarios.
    • Business Continuity Access Delegations, such as:
      • Succession Access Delegation transferring access delegation executive rights.
      • Disaster Recovery Delegation activating access delegation backup permissions.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Shared Account System, which uses common credentials rather than access delegation permissions.
  • Role-Based Access Control, which assigns predefined roles rather than access delegation dynamic rights.
  • Mandatory Access Control, which enforces system-defined rules rather than access delegation user-granted permissions.
