I have the impression that this article is about access to computer files, but why must it remain only an impression? The first sentence of an article titled "homology" may begin by saying "In mathematics, homology is....." or by saying "In biology, homology is.....", etc. This article should do the same thing, so that people not familiar with its field, whatever it is can tell what they're reading. -- Mike Hardy

Standard terminology and diagrams?

The commonly accepted RBAC standard is the one that was produced NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology [U.S. Government]). (This is ANSI [US] and INCITS [international] standard 359-004)

But there are differences between the terminology and diagrams of the article and the standard. (For example, in the standard a permission is an object and operation pair... The article's diagram matches up permission<->operation ... confusing to anybody that is used to the terminology and diagrams that the standard uses)

I think it would be nice to make the article agree with the official standards instead of inventing similar but different usages. 155.101.224.65 (talk) 21:31, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
