Abstract
Access Control is an important component of Cloud Computing; specially, User access control management; however, Access Control in Cloud environment is different from traditional access environment and using general access control model can’t cover all entities within Cloud Computing, noting that Cloud environment includes different entities such as data owner, end user, and service provider. In this paper, we propose a new access control based on Role-based access control (RBAC) model. This model includes two kind of roles, user role (UR) and owner role (OR); such that, Users get credential from owners to communicate with service provider and to get access permissions of resources. We also discuss the aspects of user access control management, such as authentication, privilege management, and deprovisioning. Moreover, we use administrative scope to update hierarchy when there is a role added or revoked to simplify the user access control management. By applying the model in Cloud environment the results shows that it can reduce the security problems to two classes in the RT [ ← , ∩ ] role-based trust-management language with a test-paper system.
