ABSTRACT:
An access control database defines access rights through the use of access control objects. The access control objects include group objects, each defining a group and a set of users who are members of the group, and rule objects. A first subset of the rule objects each specify a set of the group objects, a set of the management objects, and access rights by the users who are members of the groups defined by the specified set of the group objects to the specified set of management objects. The access control server responds to the access requests from the users by granting, denying and partially granting and denying the access requested in each access request in accordance with the access rights specified in the access control database. A second subset of the rule objects in the access control database each specify user access rights to event notifications generated by the specified set of management objects. An event registry is used for registering event notification requests by users, each event notification request specifying event notifications from specified sets of the management objects that are being requested. An event router receives event notifications generated by the management objects. It responds to each event notification by sending corresponding event notification messages to users who have registered a corresponding event notification request with the event registry and also have access rights to the received event notification in accordance with the access rights specified in the access control database.
