ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed to assign Priority to Processes based on Roles. The method calculates the process priority of the process using a scheduler running in the computer system, based on either a first weight of a first role, a second weight of a second role, or a calculated weight if both the first and second roles can unlock access to the process. The method then assigns a share of the computer system's time to the process, the share of time being based on the process priority calculated for the process.
