“…While the first six techniques have been previously introduced in (Fuchs and Meier, 2011), we identified three additional techniques (Visual Role Mining, Boolean Matrix Decomposition, and Attribute-based Role Mining) being applied to solve the role mining problem for the first time. Additionally to the 21 algorithms published in (Fuchs and Meier, 2011), 26 out of the 55 approaches from 2011 to 2013 have been categorized, while the rest is related to either pre-or post-processing phase. Subsequently, each technique and representative publications are presented: Subset Enumeration aims to discover roles through creating all possible intersections of permission sets.…”

“…Authors lately agreed upon the growing importance of role development in general and automated role mining in specific. Fuchs et al, for instance, provided an evaluation of role development approaches in (Fuchs and Müller, 2009) and (Fuchs and Meier, 2011). Since their publication, the research output in the area has grown more than double, requiring a survey update in order to give an in-depth understanding of recent developments.…”

“…Between 2011 and 2013, 55 papers related to role mining have been published, representing an increase of 141 percent compared to the number of publications from 2003 -2010 (39). While role mining in general consists of a pre-processing phase, a role detection phase, and a post-processing phase (Fuchs and Meier, 2011), the remainder of this survey focuses on the role detection phase as the core element of every role mining algorithm. During this phase, suitable roles are created based on an existing set of user-permission assignments (UPA).…”

Abstract:Roles have turned into the de facto standard for access control in enterprise identity management systems. However, as roles evolve over time, companies struggle to develop and maintain a consistent role model. Up to now, the core challenge of measuring the current quality of a role model and selecting criteria for its optimization remains unsolved. In this paper, we conduct a survey of existing role mining techniques and identify quality criteria inherently used by these approaches. This guides organizations during the selection of a role mining technique that matches their company-specific quality preferences. Moreover, our analysis aims to stimulate the research community to integrate quality metrics in future role mining approaches.

Abstract.Roles have evolved into the de facto standard for access control in Enterprise Identity Management. However, companies struggle to develop and maintain a role-based access control state. For the initial role deployment, role mining is widely used. Due to the high number and complexity of available role mining algorithms, companies fail to perceive which is selected best according to their needs. Furthermore, requirements on the composition of roles such as reduction of administration cost are to be taken into account in role development. In order to give them guidance, in this paper we aggregate existing role mining approaches and classify them. For consideration of individual prerequisites we extract quality criteria that should be met. Later on, we discuss interdependencies between the criteria to help role developers avoid unwanted side-effects and produce RBAC states that are tailored to their preferences.
