Abstract: Abstract Role-based access control (RBAC) has proven to be an effective way to reduce the complexity and costs of entitlement management in medium and large organizations. To maximize the advantages offered by RBAC, the role engineering discipline has been introduced. Several works show that finding the optimal candidate role-set can be seen as a multi-criteria decision analysis, with a trade-off among conflicting goals. However, a problem not yet addressed in the current literature is how to define the priority of each goal. With this aim, this paper describes an application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to help role engineers correctly prioritize each optimization objective.
